70% FILLFACTOR for Badly Fragmented Indexes?

Yesterday (2013-04-04) Kimberly Tripp & Paul Randal gave a great presentation at the Microsoft offices next to Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Paul said: For badly fragmented indexes start with FILLFACTOR 70 (30% empty space) and tweak.

My advice (not contradictory): for dynamic table start with FILLFACTOR 80 and tweak.

Any other opinions?

BOL on FILLFACTOR:

MSDN article:

ALTER INDEX IX_Employee_OrganizationLevel_OrganizationNode ON HumanResources.Employee
REBUILD WITH (FILLFACTOR = 80);
GO
