Remember the setting is called 'Safe Retracts', and your choice is closely related to your machine. For instance you might decide that you want the Z axis to withdraw all the
way to the top of the travel irrespective of the workpiece heights. Thus the retract is based on the machine not the job.
Your choice and mine is to have the Z axis retract relative to the part being made, which in turn defines the Top of Stock and other reference planes. If you load the stock 5mm
lower in the vise then then entire job, including the Retract Height is lowered the same 5mm as well once you touch-off your stock.
To my knowledge the setting is 'sticky', as is the use of Radius Arcs, as I no longer ever set them, in fact very seldom do I ever look at the Post Options dialogue, the settings I have made
previously apply as default to any new job I create.
