I'm probably not the best one to be talking about iM78's as I don't own a pair, but since no one else has jumped in, I'll tell you about my experience with the Heads I've owned, Monster 75, XRC 1100 Chip, etc.
I'm pretty sure most Heads come from the factory with a 1 degree base and 1 degree side bevel. I find that to be pretty boring, but tunes are pretty subjective, some people may like one thing, others may like something else, etc. I found that the best all around tune for me was one that I got from a shop in Frisco that put a .7 degree bevel on the base and a 2 degree side bevel. I know that it may sound like splltting hairs with a .7 on the base, but I can tell the difference. I personally don't like a 1 degree base bevel, but many people do. But I think you would be safe with a 1 and 2 degree side bevel for all condition skiing.
