Default Depth sounder calibration

I wonder what would the best way to calibrate a depth sounder.
From what I read most depth sounders default setting are calibrated from
the transducer to the sea bed.
Other prefer to adjust the setting to the water line to the bottom of the
sea or from the bottom of the keel.
I wonder what is the preferred method of calibrating?


Do people still use regular sounders? Aren't fishfinders so much
better that everyone has gone to them?
