Default should be MARC21 as 90% of libraries use it.
I agree it's level 'high'

Agreed.

dom is more powerful, but only available for MARC21 authorities in
3.0, so this should be high.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Agreed (210 is the standard port).

(Agreed (211 perhaps?)

Agreed.

Agreed.

Agreed (not sure about port)

Agreed.

Agreed (not sure of the best port).

Hope that helps, and thanks for your effort!
