That's... rather arbitrary. I guess it depends, based on your intent for the video.

24 fps is more cinematic, since that's what films use.

30 fps (my personal favorite) is a direct fraction of most monitors' refresh rate, eliminating judder from inconsistent frame pacing. Feels like a good compromise between filmic and smooth in my opinion.

60 fps is disgusting very smooth. Like a videogame cutscene, or a soap opera.

Higher framerates will obviously take longer to render. If you change it from the default 24, you should also consider changing the shutter speed to match. The ideal shutter speed is generally agreed to be 1/(fps*2).

So at 24 fps, that would be 1/48=0.0208. At 30, 1/60=0.0166. And so on.
