Settings are going to change from car to car, track to track, and driver to driver. Shock settings should be paired with spring selection. You're going to just have to do some testing, adjust the compression rate firm enough that body roll on initial turn-in is reduced, but not subdued, and so that the car "recovers" and returns to stock ride height without bouncing or sinking in quick turns. Generally, on the track, you can run stiffer compression/rebound rates than you could normally run in an autocross, where quick turns can cause the car to sink and eliminate proper suspension behaviour if it does not have time to recover from a sudden compression.

So really, not to put you off or anything, but it's really up to your driving preference, and testing.
