I like a little pos  1/8 to maybe 1/4, a little less or even for someone shooting 3 under on top limb and I build most of mine even length limbs, also some say it doesn't matter what it looks like at brace but only at full draw, That is true, BUT I have found that as you are tillering if you will keep the brace tiller pretty even it will wind up good at full draw or very close so I watch it all the way through. Also I ditch the tree also at a few inches before full draw and do it by hand. My hand if for me and the person's hand I am helping if available. Tiller stick to first brace, tiller tree to 23/24 then by hand checking the weight on the tree as I go forward. :)

As far as positive tiller it depends on how long the bow is. But a typical 70” longbow 1/4”+ upper limb tiller and the arrow rests 1” above center.
