I've never seen real data on that, and there have been folks here who've argued that it doesn't affect bearing life on modern disks.
In any event, I used to set mine to one hour, but changed my approach fairly recently. There are background activities that will spin up the disks, and waiting an hour to spin them down wastes energy. What I do now is I only enable spindown after hours and use the 5 minute threshold.
