The "right" "one" is very much relative to the user and the purpose of
the system. For example on a development system I would enable
CFLAGS=-O3 and try to figure out what goes wrong if something fails to
work. On a the other hand I would never go over CFLAGS=-O on a
production box. /etc/defaults/make.conf and man make.conf prove to be
very good resources.
