I would suggest 88 if you have a heater, 82 otherwise.

Neither - get a 74 degree - QTH101K - no need to run an engine above that it as its just for emmissions - However if they are your proirity then go
for 88.
There is no down side to 74C - better power - lower oil temps and still warm enough to prevent undue engine wear.
