B737 Questions

Hi,

I got 2 questions regarding the B737

1- generally on the B737 pressurization panel DCPCS, what do you put on the LAND ELEVATION window? Do you dial in RWY ELEVATION or FIELD ELEVATION? The reason I ask is there is quite a disparity between the 2 in airports such as Harare and Cairo where the difference is 200' or more. The FCOM says FE however, doesn't that beat the purpose of the land elevation that lands slightly pressurized to minimise effects of the pressure bump in airports such as FVHA?

2- specifically on the B738, quickly a poll, save for the FCTM conditions, would you generally prefer a F40 landing or a F30 landing and why?
