I try to drill plunge points with a larger tool. That can be a pain on a machine without a tool changer.
If the pocket is big enough I will use the helical entry option, with the default parameters. If not I'll just plunge slowly (10 IPM or so, with full flood coolant).
You can get a recommended ramp angle from your end mill manufacturer.
