Same here, I do not normalise to a peak level. I "amply" or change the
"gain" of a track based on VU and ears, so everything coming out is a
reasonable consistent mix at segue time.
I use -16dBFS for 0VU (+4dBu) using a 1KHz sinewave. I don't live record
to Rivendell and since the cheaper Audioscience cards are only +20dBu
output, so with a average +4dBu output there's only 16dB of range left
for peaks anyway, I use that.
If I was live recording, I'd be using -20dBFS for 0VU on a +24dBu sound
card to make the average output +4dBu (if you're using analogue that is).
The peak levels on most songs jump between -10dBFS and -6dBFS. I also
set my segues based on VU as well not peak, so every song segues at the
sweet spot of the AGC down stream.

Just an observation,
Although I've been using the default -13 dB normalization, I always
adjust the level based on the VU and my own ears.
I think Rivendell uses the peaks values to normalize and it is valid
to avoid distortion, but remember that nowaday's recordings have
almost no dinamic range (that makes me want to cry!!) and so they
always sound louder even with same peak level.

Personally I don't normalize at all in Rivendell but use r128gain and
some scripts to get everything lined up at -23 LUFS coming into RD.
When I've been using RD's inbuilt normalization I usually stick to the
default of -13 dB.
