It depends on what you want to achieve. Blend modes can be used for some
special effects, like increasing contrast by using softlight with any
module. If it increases contrast too much you can pull it down with the
opacity slider. You can also do sharpening by blending the high pass module
with overlay.
So, in normal situations, you want to set it to off.
