Default New suspension level poll: your everyday setting/if you've had any susp. issues (and if so, mileage)

Out of curiosity on which level I should set the car at, I was searching the archives and ran through an old thread with a poll of what settings everybody keeps.
So I thought it would be interesting to see if there are more suspension problems for those who keep the car at the lower settings.

I generally run at Level 2 90% of the time, and have had front air bags replaced around 50K.

However, after reading old posts I try to vary levels, to give them a 'work out' as someone suggested. However, with the cold weather, and now that I suspect that I may have ANOTHER slow leak in one of the front bags(!), I am running at Level 1, to help save the compressor a bit.

Default L2, sometimes manually L1 on the highway if I don't go fast enough to automatically trigger it.

No suspension issues yet (I bought the car used at 42K miles, just over 50K on it now)
