For "spray and pray" scanning I tend to use the "OWASP_TOP_10" profile,
with the output htmlFile and textFile plugins turned on.  It seems to
perform rather well, and much better in the recent versions then it has
in the past.

If it's a non-public sites, I have a slightly modified copy of the
OWASP_TOP_10 preset that turns off the discovery plugins
yahooSiteExplorer, bing_spider, and userDir (which depends on and
auto-enables on fingerGoogle, fingerBing, fingerPKS unless you turn it off).

Note that I mostly only use w3af itself on unauthenticated sites at the
moment, and am playing with this for other uses:
