Best Blu-ray subtitle settings in tsMuxeR?

For years, I've been using tsMuxeR to make simple Blu-rays without menus. I've been using the following settings for the subtitles:

Font: Arial
Font size: 65
Additional border: 5 pixels
Bottom offset: 155 (for letterboxed 2:35:1) or 110 (for 1:85 aspect ratio).

However, I've been wondering whether these settings are ideal. For example, is 110 pixels too high of a bottom offset for the 1:85 aspect ratio, is 65 an ideal font size (perhaps too big?), and is 5 pixels an ideal font border size? I'm very satisfied with a 155 pixel bottom offset for 2:35:1 movies, but I'm iffy about the rest of the settings. And I'm fairly satisfied with the Arial font, although it's possible that there are better ones.

What settings would you recommend?

Some favourite and well-rendering Latin fonts: Verdana, Clear Sans.
More suggestions:

Positions, sizes: You decide where it fits.

What do you personally use for position and size settings?

In my case I want the .srt subtitles I add to tsMuxeR to have the same settings as the ones included in the m2ts file of the movie. How can I find out the settings of the original .pgs?

When exporting the new .m2ts I want all the .pgs subtitles I get to be identical. I mean, same color, font, size, line spacing, additional border pixels, bottom off screen...

Either you find matching fonts by comparison and remuxing tests.
Just trial and error, trial and error.
Or if you must have everything absolutely identical:
OCR all (SubtitleEdit with Tesseract) and render all new.
