Hey Pablo,

I think most of those look very reasonable. The only two I'm skeptical about 
are:

 Disable/Hide the 3D manipulator (clutters 3DView and is "bad practice" for 
starters)
 X-Ray and Wire display for bones

I think the 3D Manipulator is such a basic, fundamental point of operation and 
recognition, whether you're coming from Max/ Maya  or are new or 3D, that this 
should be kept on by default. To a new user it's probably not immediately 
obvious how to enable it, though when it is enabled the options to switch 
between Translate, Rotate and Scale are readily available and provide better 
context to the manipulator enable/ disable toggle and the transform orientation 
drop-down IMO.

For the bones X-Ray may seem weird or counter-intuitive at first, though it's 
understandable. I think wire will only make things seem less clear though. 
Personally I really like solid view for bone positioning as it gives me a good 
indication of placement and volume of the bone. This may very well just be me 
of course though.

Cheers,
Patrick
