Once again, it is ultimately up to you how you want the text to look and how you want your pages or column to look next to each other. That way, about half of the time your columns or pages will line up and the bottom baselines will sync. The next best value is half the leading, or 7 points. You may decide that looks like too much space, and want to use a lower value. This way, no matter how many paragraphs (and thus, blank lines between paragraphs) you have, the text will always have a heigh that is multiples of 14 points, so bottom baselines will always line up.
