Your goal should be the least amount of caster over recommended that you're willing to live with. Personally, I'd decrease 1 degree and see if you still like it - you can always put it back but your pinion angle would be more favorable.
FWIW, 1 turn on the RK CAs is .5 degree

Not a dumb question! I go to an alignment shop and get an accurate starting point. My shop charges $30 to check it and make no adjustments.
Then back at home, place an angle finder on top of the flat surface above the pinion, make note of the angle shown (it's arbitrary). Then adjust your CAs out or in depending on what you're looking for and you can check the amount the axle rotates by reading the difference on your angle finder and adding it or subtracting it to/from your original alignment printout.
