That's the setting I use in Vuescan as well. My experience is that 
Vuescan produces a scan that doesn't look that great in its raw form, 
but does preserve all the information, which can then be modified in 
Photoshop.

Nikonscan produces a scan which looks better "out of the box", but which 
  often seems to clip shadow detail, resulting in an inferior scan.

Bottom line, I stick to Vuescan these days. The latest version makes it 
almost as convenient to use as a Photoshop plug-in.
