So what's the best way to setup the Custom Profiles and which one to use with which scores?
There isn't a best score setup, being that everyone has their own personal preferences. Some prefer high quality audio, others high quality video. Many prefer both.

#### Prefer Advanced Audio
Lets say you prefer HD audio (with object metadata)
In this example I have lossy Atmos over lossless DTS because the object metadata matters more to me over lossy vs lossless.
Make sure you don't check the BR-DISK. The reason why I didn't select the WEB-DL 720p is because you will hardly find any releases that aren't done as 1080p WEB-DL

I also suggest to change the Propers and Repacks settings in Radarr
