Then the best is to find a shop that has pride in their work and will go to the effort to make the angles on both sides match, not just be "within specification".

Setting the toe to the minimum of the factory range should improve efficiency a bit.

Another common problem with alignment shops is centering the steering. On a flat road or with minimal crown, with the steering wheel held level the car should not drift left or right and when you let go of the wheel it should not turn left or right on its own.

If the steering isn't centered it doesn't matter if the toe, caster and camber are perfect, it will pull to one side.
