Yes, the rule of thumb is distance of lenses (cameras) = 1/30 x distance of
nearest object.

It is a difficult to answer question. You will never get a natural effect.
I would go with larger distance. When you use wide angle lenses, everything
becomes smaller, including the stereoscopic deviations. A larger distance
of the cameras (stereo base) will increase the stereoscopic deviations to
compensate. But when you look at the stereo pair, the space will appear to
have expanded (in the "z-axis", i.e. perpendicular to the viewing
direction).
