The most efficient temperature differential would be where you get the most amount of heat rise in the air leaving the furnace with the same blower speed. Think bsfc. The most temperature rise with the two variables being heat exchanger temp and fuel consumption.

It may turn out that a higher temp in the exchanger is better and uses only a small amount more fuel to get there.
