Picking your settings

How did you guys pick settings that suit you?
I always start changing stuff. I play a few maps with settings, than if I dont hit a guy enough I start changing things around DURING the game. I change everything while playing (sens/m_pitch/crosshairsize/fov/r_mode/r_picmip), which sometimes affects my game too much if I do it too often.
It's hard to me to pick settings in ET, because in this game you are bound to miss shots you were supposed to hit. So how did you decide to stick with certain settings?

Main problem is visibility. Perhaps my config is bad or my eyes are, but I feel comfortable moving around with 100fov, but my aim is less than with 90 and sometimes I just can't see enough on longer range. So Im in a cycle where I keep changing stuff because 100 fov makes things to unclear and 90 makes me move like a retard.
In all honesty, I haven't played with the same settings for more than an hour the last 3 years orso :s

105 -> Night / Ganon
90 -> Urtier / Gza
:PpPpppP
LOL
Roughly 270 over the mousepad (several people have told me this, who're worth listening to)
Use fov 90, although your movement will suffer at first, it's more a placebo affect, it only feels like you're moving slower (obviously field of view suffers, but if you're using the right sens the cut back on that disadvantage is tremendous)
Use native resolution - can't explain it, but just do it.
125 fps if you can, regardless of hz!
And just don't change for a month or something.
Problem is that I don't know what the native resolution of my screen is, if it even has one.
Using a 19inch crt, I noticed how some resolutions make things look stretched out. I guess r_mode 7 looks the most natural, but that's abit of a weird reso to aim with.
If you know your monitors' make/model google it and should be able to find out.
perhaps because its a crt?
How can it be placebo if I know it's not supposed to work :s
If you're not hitting ur shots think u have a bad day :).
changed now to a higher value and it feels good.
been changing my sens every half an hour ( because my sens starts to 'feel' higher than the day before, so it's totally messed up again ) -> haven't kept a stable sens for like forever.
Same goes to fov, cfg etc ::: I should really keep some stable settings, but I'm way to picky :)
And at least for me playing with low sensitivity after some period of inactivity was piss easy, always felt like I didnt have any break at all.
Except for the sensitivity, last change was drawgun 1 -> drawgun 0 3 years ago.
but before that i was changing cfg´s daily
default sens(5), default dpi (400) + 100fov
just take some settings where you "feel" good in game, close/long shoot, end of story.
