If you want to be really conservative, you can set it to 0.
That said,  while most people  I know dealt  with receiving dupes,  very few
actually wanted to receive them.
That's why I  thought enabling nodupes by  default would be a  good thing (I
also need to find a way to do a  mass change of all the membership of a list
to nodupes without checking boxes on the web interface)

I think  on this subject, you'll  have few people wanting  dupes by default,
and again, it's  a sitewide, listwide, and user-level setting,  so it can be
changed easily in the case the default isnt' good :)
