Bias requirement depends upon the cartridge and the (length of) arm. A Koetsu needs hardly any bias, whereas other moving coils may need considerably more. However, it's unusual for one to need more than, say, half or two-thirds of the VTF. I don't know about moving magnets (have long forgotten) but due to their normally higher compliance/lighter VTFs, a higher bias may well be needed. Generally, it's been a pfm suggestion to start at around half to two thirds, and slacken off from there. Anti-skate provision is a 'by ear' thing and doesn't have any hard and fast recommendations, except by usage experience.
I had my Benz Ebony at less than half VTF, but this was with a 12" arm, and cart's within a manufacturer's line-up may well have different responses to biasing.
