Down in the front or up in the rear lowers gearing, this reduces top speed and will typicaly cause you to shift more frequently. Wheelies will be easier to come by in higher gears.
Up in front or down in the rear wil raise your gearing resulting in higher theoretical top speed and you'll be typically slower off the line.

gearing will all depend on what you are trying to accomplish.
if you are street riding looking for that little extra umph...you can do -1/+1-2
track riding will all depend on what track you are at and you will want to keep a hand full of sprockets to change out to suit your lap times and track.
stunting will depend on whether you want to learn on stock gears or go +15 in the rear or whatever will help you accomplish your goal.

Really? I should have the -1, +3 set-up as soon as it arrives to me. You don't like the wheelies?
