Depending on the reading software I use (which varies a lot from one e-reader to another), I adjust the margins more or less, but I always try to keep the text as symmetrical as possible. With headers and footers, I find it impossible to use a narrow side margin. I prefer to sacrifice text in favour of aesthetics. But like almost everything in this life it is a matter of personal taste.
I too like my margins more or less the same size, but I'm not willing to sacrifice text. I sacrifice headers and footers instead and only use the progress bar to indicate where I am in the book.
