With bladder-style shocks 0 rebound also was the fastest for me on carpet. A lightly cut upper deck plus the 0 rebound made the car ridiculously smooth. In my opinion, rebound isn't necessary because the spring rebounds itself.... The oil and piston is to control that action, not add to it.
i find some rebound is good. the 25% comes from a full stroke of the shock, now there wont be many times the shock is full compressed, but the little amount of rebound means also, more damping effect, and i used to build my shocks with minimal rebound, but then also found they didnt remain as consistant for as long. they tend to get air in them quickly and leads to other issues. but this is what i have found over my years of racing.
