Depends on who's playing. When I'm playing alone, it's factory settings or harder, ditto when my playing buds are there. However, when less experienced friends or my wife are playing, I'll set everything to easiest, extend the ball saver time and go to 5 ball. While frustration can be a part of the game for those who have the addiction, it's not any fun for newbies and they'd just as soon do something else.
