Just to elaborate on what jr said, 5 flaps is the normal, all-purpose setting. You're normally not going to go below it, maybe a few notches up.
Flap settings can be determined by weight, elevation, temperature, runway length, etc. But mainly by weight.

The DC10 when fully loaded likes a little extra on the flaps. Not so much the 30 series. but the 10 and 40 series do.
