I reccomend 1 unit = 1 meter because physics uses the metric system
... which is why it took Newton so long to 'discover' gravity, because the English were working in feet/pounds.

It may also depend on the game you are making. For some games may require larger scales than others due to the size of the characters/levels
Ultimately, there is no right/wrong, just what works!
