    If you set any of these settings to 'ignore', it will effectively break the dynamic link they are attached to.

    ie, if you remove id, page.php?id=123 will become page.php to google (and likely won't work anymore/throw an error message).

    I would suggest leaving everything to the don't ignore option with the exception of "hl".

    hl runs the highlight term for searches. it can be turned off and the content will still be the same and load properly without the highlight.

    I'm emailing Google support about using this to remove duplicate showthread urls.

    Seems a useful too to ensure googlebot spends more time on your best content.
