I think 2-3* is optimal. I had vibrations initially, but resolved them with 4* pinion angle shims.
I just swapped out my 12 bolt for a Strange 60 (Dana 60). Since I need to reset my pinion angle, I figured now was the time to try to hit 3* on the trans. I need to order a new driveshaft, but don't want to do that until I know exactly where my engine/trans will sit. I can adjust the position of my engine 2-3" forward or back because my engine mounts and trans x-member are both adjustable.
Basically I want to position the engine around the ideal header location, then set the engine/trans angle and pinion angle and order the right length DS. And only do it once.
