Question for Plugin Users

A number of FFF's settings and defaults come from the early days ~10 years ago when users didn't trust FFF to set Calibre metadata and wanted options not to.

There are several options available on every download/update:

Output Format
Update Mode
Update Calibre Metadata
Update EPUB Cover
Background Metadata (updates only)

Most are self explanatory. 'Update Calibre Metadata' if unchecked, prevents FFF from updating any Calibre metadata--except for the explicit 'Update Calibre Metadata' modes which do anyway.

Which are these settings are actually useful today on every download/update?

Personally, the only one I ever change is Update Mode.

For example, does anyone run with 'Update Calibre Metadata' unchecked? Or change output format on individual downloads?
