Delay Compensation for AD8000

I noticed in a recent thread that our erstwhile co-moderator Julien said he'd caluclated the delay compensation factor for his Apogee AD8000SE's at 19 samples. Just last week I asked Apogee what they recommend, since there's nothing in the manual; their tech support says 67 samples from "analog input to digital output" and 114 samples "from analog input to analog output."

Delay Applications

I'd love to hear what people are doing with delays in their mixes.

Personally, I use a lot of slap, and rhythmic values like 8th notes, quarter notes, and half notes. I'm very interested to hear about 'magic delay times' that work well no matter what the tempo is. I think a slap around 124 ms is like that. Other examples?
