By more aggressive, you mean chopping frequency quicker at idle? We use ondemand by default, which is the best for that. There's also conservative, which is slower in slacking off, but doesn't seem to really help performance. Performance and powersave, of course, just peg it at maximum or minimum; and null sets it to 400000, even when the maximum drops to 333000 in order to boost the DSP.
