VTA adjustment for an RB600


I know we all have opinions as to how to adjust VTA. I am simply looking for a starting point so I have a reference to work from. Is it correct that due to the taper in the arm, the cartridge mount should be used to determine level, or zero?
Thanks

I've read that most guys start from zero and adjust vta by ear. If I like the sound with the pivot end slightly lower than the cartridge, as long as there is sufficient clearance between cartridge and record, is this a problem? ( ie excessive wear on the bearings?) I have read that some prefer such a setting.
