I use a top margin of .8em and a bottom margin of .8em for a chapter title unless there's a need to use something else based on the text/format.

I like a text indent of 1.2em as well. As for paragraph spaces, 0 work well for me. I like a 2em space for a section break that's just blank space.

I also like no margin. But then, on a 6" screen, the lines are not too long and with my 650, the bezel does not get in the way. On a black iPad with a black bezel, a small margin is good so the text doesn't run into the bezel.

I know spacing can be good depending on the book and the formatting needed, but I cannot see a need for a 14% top margin for chapter headers.
