Does it make more sense to modify the 1800 second refresh rate, pacing timers, or all of the above in terms of network stability/best practices/etc to achieve quicker LSA maintenance?
I am dealing with a specific situation wherein modifying the default values is desired. What are some of the typical adjustments made away from the defaults in a conservative (not too agressive) way?

Honestly if you're concerned with best practices and keeping your LSDBs nice and neat, ready for fast convergence, I would recommend ensuring that your OSPF areas are constructed well. Keep LSAs that don't need to be in an area summarized, and don't let a single area grow too large.
