I've been using 15pF. I did have one early board where I had to REDUCE the capacitance to get reliable starting; can't remember what I had originally, maybe 27pF. Admittedly these have mostly been 4-layer boards with a groundplane and hence slightly more stray capacitance than a 2-layer, though some have been 2-layer also.
