What setpoint do you use during bottom phase and deco and why?

It would depend on the duration on bottom.

If it is just a quick bounce to max depth, I would use higher SP (1.2-1.3). And same SP for deco.

But if I plan to stay longer duration (20-35+ mins depending on how far past 100m) then I would use lower SP (1.0-1.1) on bottom. This allows me to use higher SP on deco (1.2-1.4) without frying my lungs too much.

Just my personal preference...
