Considering your question, "auto" is my answer.

Or f/8 1/125 coupled with knowledge as to what that means and how to change it to achieve your desired effect.

Can you be a BIT more specific, geesh.

You may find this DPS tute helpful.
It will give you a basic understanding of how to set your camera up for different shooting conditions, including portraits and landscapes.

Also, for quickie formulas, I found this helpful when I was just starting off:
The Little Book of Photography: For Digital and Film SLR Cameras: Amazon.co.uk: J.H. Barnard: Books
Not sure if it can still be found though. maybe 2nd hand.
