The reason to set to a value is to set the buffer size -- and usually
you do this to tune interaction between PHP and Apache and/or the
underlying OS. You want to set it to a value that matches Apache's
buffer size and/or the OS's network buffer size. If you don't know
these, using the defaults is probably the best bet.
