I used to use the GWX 8-Hour setting, but I found that during a storm the watch crew lasted about two hours before they had to be swapped out. This got old fast, especially in a Type II, where there was never enough crew to keep up.

I now use the No Fatigue option. Unrealistic as far as fatigue itself goes, but much more realistic from the captain's point of view.
