Depends what routes your opponent is running but a good base to start at is...

Flats 25 or 30
Curl Flats 5
Hook Default

If you're running Cover 4 or 3 I wouldn't run zone drops personally, I would set them back to default. Or you can reset your play once you come out in the play and it will cancel zone drops.

That's up to you. If you want to run zone drops I'd recommend Cover 2 shells more so as I believe that's the best mable in the game.

If you run Cover 3 or Cover 4 I wouldn't use zone drops in general personally. If you do want to, you can leave them as curl flats or shade to make them hard/cloud flats, up to you.
