I usually use the middle slider to get the overall exposure right (if needed), and then move the two extreme sliders a bit towards the middle to increase contrast (again, when needed). The amount of movement is determined by the histogram: I try to move the black slider to the point where the histogram starts rising, and the white slider to the point where it almost touches the horizontal axis.
