I have generally not tried to sharpen more than about a .43 or .42. Any more than that, and it gets very "artifacty", very fast. Sometimes I'll do the opposite: window the person's face and then slightly defocus the background, which brings the viewer's attention to the actor without sharpening them.
Well since a setting of 50 is off, 47 is less sharpening than 43. Doesnt matter anyway, this isnt about best practices.
Re-read my posts. Most of your questions are already answered.
For the other hardware, its a recent i5, SSD, and 16 GB ram.
