Mine have always been zero toe spinning in or out. I always thought it was bad juju to toe them either way. I think that's what was causing the lower unit failure on Franks 30'er.

If you guys are doing different I would like to know also and why.

Mine are between 1/16" and 1/8" toe in. I call toe in the prop shafts being closer than the front of the gear case. My engines are turning out also which pulls the prop shaft outboard.
Will be doing some more testing soon and will try them straight to see if there is any difference. When racing years back always used a little toe.

I believe you have to try and see what works for you. Every boat and set up is different. People have been using toe in/out since they started racing boats. I have always used a slight amount of toe. Also keep in mind to check it after you move engine height as sometimes it will change.
