Don't forget the subwoofer....
I generally go for the TDK SVHS tapes, in general I've had fewer problems with those than any other brand.
We had good surround when Sinclair is getting "What do you want?" bounced back and forth at him, also when Talia is listening to the many voices in "A Race Through Dark Places." Overall, you'll get most or all of the ship-bys we do, and you'll get the nice separation of voices in the S5 title sequence. We use the surrounds to give a sense of place, and ambiance, more than anything else. Pop in any really busy action sequence and you'll get a good sense of movement.
In general, the basic pro-logic setting is usually fine for B5.
