Yes, I use the 5.0 default. My Bigevil rules go against my own recommendations. The majority of my custom rules are between .33 and .55 in score. But Bigevil is designed to hit 100% spam. It is the only set I have scored high. FPs are taken care of right away.
I don't deliver the spam at 7.0 or higher though procmail scripts. They get diverted to a spam bucket to be checked by me. I consider spam marked between 5-7 a failure, because I don't want my users to see any spam :) I've had great success in scoring spam over 7 even without Bigevil.
