The default choice for all water molecules (except tip4pd) is to use the
Joung-Cheatham parameters for monovalent ions, using Li&Merz parameters
for higher charges. As I remember, this was primarily because we had
much more experience with the behavior of the JC parameters -- which
becomes a bit of a self-fulfilling goal, since most people will use
default parameters.
My reading of the experience that we do have is that Li&Merz are not
much different from JC for monovalents, but others with more direct
experience may wish to chime in here.
Of course, you are welcome to override the defaults if you wish.
