I usually feel inclined to try and set my tool for the average value (10N/m in this case), but not sure what would be preferrable... lower or upper limit.

Just a guess, but I figure the engineers figure the minimum clamping pressure required to keep it together and not leak and the near maximum torque the threads or bolts will survive. I don't use anything but thumb on the 1/4" ratchet head and the pressure of closing fingers on the little stuff. I can feel the clamping moment.
