depends...
the recommanded fees depend on a couple of factors:
- the age of the inputs
while at slow moments, creating a transaction with one input and one output and aged inputs, 0.0001BTC as a fee might be waaay to high.
The aged inputs are important only for free transactions, but because there are only few free transactions confirmed everyday, I would not give much hope free transaction confirms at all, yet in timmely manner OP need.
If you make very small fee and you have very aged inputs your transaction has slightly higher chance to be added if miner choose free transactions which your transaction might satisfy this condition as well, but not many miners ever consider relaying free transactions since Bitcoin Core 0.12 is widely used...
