I don't change my setting for stitch in the ditch. I use the same 2.0 setting for all straight stitching, because it's the smallest stitch my seam ripper can easily get under in the unlikely (yeah, right!) event it gets used.

are you hand or machine quilting? often for machine people set their stitch length a little longer than what they piece with- for hand quilting it depends on you- size *length* is not as important as consistency- as long as the stitches are all the same size- top & bottom- it will look good; people's quilting gets smaller/better with time & lots of practice. it doesn't make a big difference if you are doing stitch in the ditch or fancy feathers in blocks- the stitches should all be consistent- as close to the same size as possible- what size that is depends on what YOU like

I use a longer stitch when maching quilting. In my mind it is a little easier on the fabric and doesn't strain against the bulk fo the batting. This is my way of thinking so I can justify getting it done quicker.
