Since I think you are meaning, whatever alignment gives you the least amount of distortion (and more importantly the least amount of inner groove distortion).
Having said that- I enter this foray as a rock and roll kinda guy. I listen to a LOT of old classic rock, metal from way back when (Iron Maiden) and grew up with all my prog albums (Yes, Genesis, ELP) from the time I bought them to now. I have had incredible results with Baerwald alignment on with my Linn Akito 2b arm/Ortofon-SoundSmith Kontrapunkt- very little IGD and tight, focused sound to boot!
While the above pic isn't the exact protractor I use (go to Vinyl Engine for that), it shows you the parameters...
Good luck,

It seems you and I are on the same page with regard to musical preferences as I listen to all that you mentioned.
For some reason record companies and producers of rock music seemed to put a lot of hit songs close to the inner groove.
I will give the Baerwald alignment a go.
Thanks.

It has to go to YELLO, for putting the track "Oh Yeah" at the end of a side. I can't remember exactly WHICH album it is, possibly a later edition of the greatest hits collection; "'80-'85". There is literally about 3 or 4 mm from the end of the track to the label, and next to no dead-wax there!
Another just plain loud track would be "Can- Utility and the Coastliners" from Genesis's Foxtrot album. A loud ending, for sure!
There are others, but these two are the first to come to mind. Baerwald alignment seems to track them pretty well...
