I use Opera Mini 3... It's a third party browser, but it blows away the built in browser

I've been searching too and doing a lot of trial and error. I'm sure the "experts" on here will disagree with my settings, but this is what I've found has worked the best for me - at least for the last month.
-prompt to enable JavaScript
-support HTML Tables
-support Embedeed Media
-support Style Sheets
Style sheets media type: screen
Show images on WML & HTML Pages
Emulation Mode: Microsoft IE
Content Mode: WMl & HTML

However, I do find that I use Opera-mini for more graphic intensive sites.

content mode > WML and HTML
emulation mode > IE explorer or netscape

No change in speed? Really? I haven't played with it enough to notice, but thought if you checked off less, it will speed the browser up.

Can someone breakdown what all those setting really do? I play with them, but don't really notice a big difference unless I turn them all off.

What is the brst/recommended emulation mode? I use the blackberry emulation mode and seems to work for me.

Regarding emulation mode -- what this does is change the User Agent sent to a webserver; scripts and such can use this to deliver custom content (the classic "this shows up in IE but is missing in Firefox!" threads).

Blackberry:
"BlackBerry8100/4.2.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100"

Microsoft IE:
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) BlackBerry8100/4.2.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100"

Netscape:
"Mozilla/4.8 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U) BlackBerry8100/4.2.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100"

MS Pocket IE:
"Mozilla/2.0 (compatible; MSIE 3.02; Windows CE; PPC; 240x320) BlackBerry8100/4.2.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100"

Openwave Gateway:
"BlackBerry8100/4.2.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100 UP.Browser/5.0.3.3 UP.Link/5.1.2.1"

Openwave (WAP):
"BlackBerry8100/4.2.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100 UP.Browser/5.0.3.3"

So, your "optimum" setting really depends on your website -- if they have Blackberry specific content versus wanting to see it like IE does on your desktop and so forth. Some sites will look better in one mode and some in the other.

edit: decided to save this info >>here<< for easy bookmarking
