yes, faster is better, but there is a slight efficiency switching loss in pwm, so running full speed maybe gives 5-10% more efficiency, but whatever.
hard over time of 6 seconds would be good, prefer no longer than 10. If you can get it down to 3-4 seconds, let us know all about it! Faster basically means you can deal with more difficult conditions, but there is likely an optimal speed for efficiency too, so the ideal drive could actually change the distance it engages from the rudder shaft to minimize power consumption, but no one actually does this... few people have variable pitch propellers either.
