Hi Alex, In my experience you just have to experiment with these parameters (in however of a limited space that is afforded by your experimental set-up). If you have the right tools you can slog through semifactorial or DoE-based scouting of various parameters with relative ease. These parameters typically include pH, salinity, detergent(s), and other variables (e.g. the nature of the buffer and salt(s) - many cases exist where the 'standard' choices do not work well).
Literature-based analogies do help on occasion. For example, membrane-spanning p450-type proteins often prefer high salt, and often would do better in sodium acetate as opposed to chloride. I've worked with ion channels that preferred 3M NaCl, or 2M MgCl2 and other fairly weird conditions...
