It all depends on what you are doing with the car.

You want.

Put the plates all the way back. The more caster the better.
-1 to -1.5 camber
1/16" toe in.

I did it myself using the directions in this thread.

How to do your own alignments, low cost, effective. - Corral Forums

If you don't choose to do it yourself then you need to sweet talk an alignment shop to set it up the way you want. IMHO it would be a waste to set it up to stock after adding C/C plates.
