I am afraid that your question is too broad to be answered. As a LaTeX user for years I can just tell you that the default margins for every documentclass can be considered to have the best possible fit to the documentclass, but also, while you are finalizing your document you may realize for example that each section starts from the bottom of a page, and thus, a small decrease on its margins (by respecting the general geometry -i.e. the fraction of left/right margin-) would improve the overall look of the document by moving all sections to start on the top of the pages and not on the bottom

This isn’t really a good match for this site, because the answer is a matter of personal opinion about typography, unrelated to TeX specifically. However, you might want to look at the discussions of this topic in thememoirpackage, the Koma classes, andclassicthesis, whose authors all had different opinions.
