what are the recomended freq/slope for xover?

not sure if this is the right forum as this relates to surround too.

i use a theta casanova and i have been playing around with the crossover for my dd/dts modes. i use the "phase perfect" setting and my speakers are wilson wp7's, watch center and surrounds with thiel sw1 sub. i have never been sure what the suggested frequency and slope settings should be (on the theta crossover)but i am sure some of you know. is it based on the speakers frequency only? i have read that there are thx recommendations as well but do not recall what they are. any input on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

rleff- very little as they recommend phase perfect to be the better of the 3 for most situations.

I run soundlab m2's with martin logan stage center and paradigm studio 20 actives for rear,my sub is a passive chiro c150 driven by adcom 2535 bridged.
I found the linkwitz-riley with 18,24 slopes gave me the best sound and intregration;maybe you might want to setup all 3 types on 3 different input selects and then you can a/b them to see if you can hear improvement or not.
