Use of plain burst is not really recommended but probably still relatively common and will considerable lessen the average interval (on burst of 8 packets (?) every 1024s). Also, ntpd over a bad line will not go to 1024 but stop earlier. As to sntpd clients: I doubt there is any consensus on what is 'sane'. I'd say once a week, since if you're using sntpd you don't care much anyway. But there are many clients that use daily or even hourly polls.
