What looks best can also vary even for the same person. For me: reference material can be better with greater spacing - even line spacing. The font choice can make a difference as to what looks best and reads easier in terms of line and paragraph spacing (I recently implemented JSWolf's version of Charis SIL (ChareInk) and while I like it very much, I did have to boost the line spacing to make it usable for me). Even just the style of writing can make a difference: many older books have lots of huge paragraphs and any extra spacing between paragraphs just looks odd (to my eye).
From a publisher perspective I tend toward the conservative because conservative reduces the chance that different ereader software will muck it up, and because conservative tends to make it easier for users to customise.
