I would consider declaring ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, or Windows-1252.
All contain mappings for all 256 octets, so you will never get a
decoding error.  US users may prefer Windows-1252, since it's the main
8-bit encoding for them which has "smart quotes" and the like, and the
8-bit control character area is mapped to graphic characters which are
less likely to upset terminals.  ISO-8859-15 may be more popular in
Western Europe since it is a variant of ISO-8859-1 with the EURO SIGN.
