Default Setting fork sag

So I'm changing my forks completely out and this will be the first time I plan on setting it all up on my own.

Just wondering what do you all recommend I set my fork sag too?

The rear currently is set to 31mm of sag

I've read a few places that the front for street should be set to between 30mm and 35mm, then some say perfect should be between 35mm and 38mm.

Also I ride pretty aggressive as I live in the mountains and I've heard that the best setting for a more aggressive rider/track rider is more firm at 25mm to 30mm.

Anyone else have any input on this?

Do you mind providing the link as to your knowledge of suspension setup/terms/concepts?
