Here's a decision tree:
Are you working with an existing project?
Yes: Use whatever they are using. bzr will do this for you by default.

Are you using bzr-svn?
Yes: use 1.9-rich-root

Are working with big trees(5K+paths) or deep history (5K+revisions)?
Yes: use 1.9, if your team is able to (e.g. not version-locked to an
     old bzr due to corporate policy)

Otherwise: do not specify formats to any commands, bzr will Just Work.
