I disagree on the last point.

Security = user is default, so no entry necessary.

For PDC I use:

        os level = 64
        preferred master = Yes
        domain logons =Yes
        domain master = Yes

For BDC I use (if on separate nodes)

        os level = 64
        preferred master = Yes
        domain logons =Yes
        domain master = no

If on same node

        os level = 60
        preferred master = Auto
        domain logons =Yes
        domain master = no
