I set the default body margins to 0 for all four. Blockquotes and other blocks where I want to add left/right margins, it's easy enough to do. Ditto for top/bottom for headers, etc.

What I don't want to see is the example set by several commercial ePubs where the default left/right margins are set ridiculously high—one recent example had the left/right default margins set to 2cm. On my Clara HD, that left 5cm of width left to display text.
