Gain staging/Input levelling on the Quad Cortex: Does it even matter and what should you do?

The aged old debate of whether or not you should touch the input level on your Quad Cortex. This was inspired by the recent discussion and reopened debate about signal-to-noise ratio and levelling your inputs. Do you tickle the red like some recommend, or do you leave it at 0db and let the QC handle it? Do you booster after the A/D conversion in the chain, or should it all be done at the analogue point? We try to find out. Timestamps added so you can move around.
