I keep my alarm at 1.45 - just so I hear an audible signal if I go past it.
 
If diving a nitrox computer, I'd set it to 1.2 (if possible).
 
I normally keep my P02 alarm setting on 1.4. However if I am diving a site like a wreck where the sand is right at 1.4 P02 (ideal mix in the tank), I will sometimes set it at 1.5 or 1.6 just so it does not beep and annoy me during the dive.
 
Usually 1.4 but have changed it to 1.6 when the dive needs to run a little 'hot' for the planned depth for a few minutes.

Cheers.

Working gasses of the dive get 1.4 setting. Deco gasses get 1.6 setting. If I'm going to be doing a dive with a lot of task loading/work/physical exertion, I'll consider 1.2 setting for that portion of the dive.
 
1.5

So i can use 32% at 35m (1.44) to stay within agency standards etc.

Normally though try to keep it 1.4 for bottom portion and 1.6 for deco.
 
My computer will allow a max of 1.4 on the first gas, 1.6 on the second gas (it goes to 100% O2 so for the deco portion it will allow 1.6).

Not that I use it that way :)
 
Depends on my dive profile and water conditions and a host of other considerations.....for most rec level diving 1.4 is fine for most situations.
 
1.4 for low effort dives, 1.2 if I think there's going to some work.
