Coming off a runway I zoom in slightly so I can read the gauges clearly and after that its all the way back.  ;) yeah I like that extra leg room too. ;D

0.50 for me.
0.31 is too much zoomed out, it gives a fish-eye view.

Taking off and landing close enough to read the speeds clearly, all other times all the way out. The scenery outside the window seems to be clearer the further back you are.

I don't know if FSX is any different, but in my FS 2004 Cockpit 2D mode I leave the Zoom level as default; 1.0...

....in my Cockpit 3D mode I use 0.75 zoom level to get better visual access to most of the VC Panel...the problem is, it makes the outside view unrealistic!

F....G-BPLF.... 8-)...!

P.S. I am an unusual Pillock Pilot, in that I prefer to use the 2D Panel view, to get access to ALL my instruments without scrolling around the Cockpit with the Mouse or Hat Switch, whilst I am desperately trying to concentrate on Flying..;)..!
I also like the way that many of the Default Aircraft's 2D Panels can be resized, (reduced height), to obtain a better forward view!

Same with me. I like to see only the vital gauges (PFD etc) clearly.
