The simple answer to your question is -

It depends.

On how rigid your bushings are.

On the proportion of your driving that is street/track

On the basic geometry of the suspension

On how much you value tire wear/life

On how much you value straight-line stability

------------------------------------------------------

Generally for the street you want to -

Maintain zero to a small amount of toe-in under normal driving conditions to increase bump stability and tire life..

For the track you want to -

Have a small to moderate amount of toe-in under cornering conditions with little regard to straight line conditions. This will increase cornering stability and force, and increase roll-understeer.

And that's the way it is.
