I'm trying to set up the locale for  this computer and was wondering 

should 
LC_ALL=en_CA , en_CA.utf8, or en_CA.iso88591

I've looked at the net for arguments for or against the above options but none of it makes much sense.  Does anyone out there know where I can find definitive information on the advantages/disadvantages to setting the locale to any of the above locales

Tks
