How to have most control in post

Well, I'm no expert, but using what I gleaned from this site, I generally work in progressive format, with cine-gamma if I control the lighting. I am at -3 on detail I believe, and use -3 on auto-iris to make sure I don't overexpose when I am not shooting a manual iris.
I find that this gives me fairly flat colors, gives me some room to sharpen if I want to, etc. In terms of audio, I try to keep peaks about 1 or 2 bars into the red which lets me push a bit hotter if desired, but also keeps dialog well above the noise floor so I get pretty clean sound.
That's just my crude way of getting to post with something useful.

Shoot progressive 24PA. With a pretty high pedestal... I have mine set to -3 or 0 all the time, and don't overexpose.
