I use 0 time deposit and 3 or 6 s increment per move so that no engine runs out of time because of possible bug in arena and to test mainly engine strength rather than time management. Note that since i am not using opening book and instead using positions - Arena increments the time anyway so each engine actually has ~15-30 seconds in bank when making first move.
