Why worry about defaults, especially if they don't suit? For a couple of
decades I've been happy with:

tabstop=3
shiftwidth=3

To avoid any text movement if tabstop were changed, e.g. if the files
were shared with another user, I also set:

expandtab

except in makefiles, naturally. (With modelines, rather than filetype.)

Incidentally, +1 for autoindent - it works well enough that I've never
tried smartindent or cindent.
