Whatever you want.  The TTL is how long it can take for a change to
propagate to the rest of the net, due to caching.  You have to compromise
between quick propagation and increased load on the authoritative servers.

We use 1 day as our default TTL.

Why don't you just use whatever you were using before, in the SOA record?
All that's changed in BIND 8.2 is where BIND looks for the default TTL, not
how you decide what to use as the TTL.
