trace depth should be higher by default, i hate to change it every time i create a new scene
my suggestion is something like 4-4-6-4

We can only adjusted string option defaults, not regular attribute defaults.  Any regular option default change should be requested directly to Autodesk.

For my own part, I use a set up script that sets decent defaults for all my settings (as well as some other cleverness).  I default trace depth to 3 4 5 (reflections, refractions, total).  Note that shadow depth, reflection blur limit, and refraction blur limit are legacy Maya shader options and are not generic to mental ray.
