I use 4.5 to mark as Spam, 15 to quarentine, over 10 with a BAYES_99 to 
quarentine, and over 10 with three RBL's to quarentine.

I'm also using auto-whitelisting and auto learning. 

This month we have quarentined 25,500 out of 86,000 emails. We have had zero 
false positives for quarentined email. 
Only 4,500 emails get marked as spam instead of quarentined and those do get 
some false positives.
