I think that's more like a question for the LUG, but however - 
there's lots of quantization options, you should just fool around 
with the extended parameter box to see what they're actually doing.
In case you want to "copy" the groove of an MPC2000 I could only 
recommend trying to find some loops of it, load them into Logic and 
use the "audio to MIDI groove template" function of Logic's time and 
pitch machine.
Alternatively you may want to load them into any loop slicing tool 
(such as Phatmatik Pro, ReCycle or Intakt) and export the MIDI groove 
from there into Logic, then make a template out of that.

In addition to the statement below, which is a really good/answer
solution. The main thing to note, is that it is the inaccuracies or
humanness of the MPC that gives it such a good feel.  Linn drums had
their own feel, Roland's which were more perfect had their own feel.  As
do actual drummers.  I.e. if you analyzed the groove of a drummer you
love you would find that he/she is all over the beat. Maybe the kick
slightly ahead, snare a little behind, etc.
