I have a book on Elements 3 which suggests as an "all purpose setting" Amount 85%, Radius1 Threshold 4. For soft subjects (flowers, puppies,people etc) Amount 150%, Radius 1, Threshold 10. Portraits (head and shoulders) Amount 75%, Radius 2, Threshold 3. Moderate sharpening (product shots, landscapes) Amount 225%, Radius 0.5, Threshold 0. Maximum sharpening for slightly fuzzy photos Amount 65%, Radius 4, Threshold 3.
I have only used the all purpose and it seems to work well as just that.
