Q: Best sequence settings for audio when exporting a Quicktime Movie out of FCP Classic for DVD authoring

I'm editing in FCP6 with a pro 5.1 audio mix and am about to author a DVD master in DVD Pro for mass duplication.  On the General Tab of Sequence Settings I have the choice of Discrete vs Channel Group. On the Audio Tab of Sequence Settings, I'm concerned that using the 5.1 Preset is really for my computer at home vs. DVD authoring.  Since I did pay for a pro audio mix, I'm assuming everything within the Audio Tab choices should be set to 0 (vs. -3db, etc) so as not to disturb the balance of the audio mix.  I've been back and forth between the FCP manuals and DVD Pro Apple guide without being able to find definitive answers, so any tips from someone who's done this and was happy with the resulting DVD would be much appreciated!
