I have anew Radio Shack 3 variable temp soldering station. What temps should I set for the best soldering?

I use 650F for soldering on printed circuits, and I kick it up to 700F for wiring if it's heavier and slow going at 650F. It's worked for me for a lot of years, and I get a lot of mileage out of my soldering irons.

For track and stuff like #12 wiring, I break out the Weller 100/140W gun, I'm sure it gets a lot hotter, never measured it.
