Depends on what you want. According to the Vuescan help file, setting to 
"Image" will result in the scan resembling the original slide. Setting to 
"Slide Film" and picking the appropriate film type on the Color Tab will 
result in a scan that resembles the original scene. If you use a saturated 
film like Velvia because you like the way the colors pop, what's the point 
of having the scan remove the saturation to get back to the original scene? 
I want my scans to look like the film, not like the original scene. YMMV.
