Depends on what you are keeping. In general SPS/shallow water corals appreciate more movement-- deeper water/LPS corals and mushrooms tend to like gentle currents. Keep in mind that your return pump doesn't need to supply all your flow. It's easier, and in many cases better, to use powerheads in the display to generate more or less current where you want it.
