There's an excellent thread by M. Bonnani on the effects of various suspension settings on handling in the appropriate forum.

Long story short, some negative camber (say, -1 give or take) improves grip in cornering without resulting in excessive tire wear.

Unless you are a drag racer only, I wouldn't aim for 0 (or positive) camber -- what good are tires that last a bit longer but can't hug the road as well going around a turn?

0 toe is fine.

By comparison, autoxers will often have -2+ camber F & R.

I have -1.38 F and -2.68 (thanks to adjustable rear camber arms) in the rear -- and this is for ("spirited" street driving).
