Best practices for Filament printers to optimize quality with small nozzle (0.25)? Best Material?

Looking to do some smaller/detail prints.  I have a REVO on my Mini and the 0.25 nozzle.  I've made a printer profile for that size nozzle.  extrusion widths at .25 come automatically.  

What other critical settings for best small printing?

And what material?  Prusament PETG is my go to, but for fine details would a PLA be better?  Not too concerned about strength or properties- mainly easthetic and smoothness.

THanks

For me, 0.25 nozzles are only useful for non-abrasive materials.

Agree.  I’m not sure you can even print a fiber filled with a nozzle that small…
