I have always reduced the timeout to 10 seconds like you did. I think the default time is as high as it is to avoid a flapping state between the boxes. If you have a network with plenty of broadcasts or servers that will always be up, you can be pretty aggressive.
As far as your trunking question goes, I definitely use LACP and do so using the default settings. Depending on your requirements, Using "Short" instead of "Long" for "LACP Timeout" wouldn't be a bad idea.
