Probably something closest to what your eye sees is ideal for most photos. But dumb optical cameras have all kinds of artefacts that eyes don’t. When I slightly bump the camera, the whole image comes out blurry, my eyes don’t do that.

Things like lens flares don’t exist either.

Eyes do have lots of artefacts, your brain fills in the gaps, like the blind spot [1] It's not much more different than computational photography, really.
