You know what? This is all way over my head! I am so not smart enough to understand any of this - so, as I said in my initial post - I'm just going to keep on using my DOF preview and the LCD to compose to get the DOF that I need/want.

It solely depends upon what you deem as an appropriate CoC for your type of shooting/printing. However if the scale was printed by the manufacturer based on an APS sized sensor they would likely have used a smaller CoC for the calculations.
