I tested all of the BRAW compression ratios and only saw any differences with 12:1. Then I shot a few projects with 5:1 and then moved on to Q5 and have been using that with no regrets. The quality difference between the compression ratios is so small compared to the amount of space you save it makes no sense to me to shoot anything else. Depends on your situation though!
One thing I've noticed is that when you start recording in Q5 the available recording time is adjusted after a while and it is actually a little more than the estimate the camera gives you. Q0 takes up twice the space and if you're not going to do green screen of VFX work I highly doubt you'll find it an added benefit.
I've shot in low light, smoke, strobes, fast movement, foliage... Haven't broken the Q5 yet. It is a very good option.
