I have to agree with Carl here that 6 is the best value for the default. I looked into several piano reductions of Mendelssohn's Lobgesang as well as masses by Michael Haydn and Mozart. In all of them the default in 3/4 is to beam all 6 eighths together. And if there is a dotted quarter note, the following three eighths are beamed like lilypond does it (16th notes are beamed there in groups of four, just like lilypond does it, too).
