consensus seems to be anywhere between -0.5 to -1.5 degrees (so negative, in at the top). Ideally you want this done on a proper 4 wheel hunter alignment system or similar.

I have -0.5° on mine but I think next time I will go for a bit more.

You can adjust upto -1.5deg on the fronts and upto -1.0deg at the rear on the OEM suspension. Go for these settings - more grip in conering, without being too harsh for wear against the tyres' inside edges wen travelling straight.

BTW, if you were to fit a set of camber bolts (£15) to the rear struts, then you can adjust the rear to -1.5deg too.

Go to a subaru specialist like powerstation, alignment's too important to skimp on it
