My mistake.  I should have said recursive aa since both methods are actually
adaptive.
Well, I've found recursive aa, or +am2 as it's known on the command-line,
really helps smooth straight yet diagonal lines (any line running off of vertical
or horizontal).  And even if aa depth (+r5 for example) is raised while using +a0.1
with default sampling method (+am1) it can still tend to be unsmooth.
Your mileage may vary  ;-)  but my favorite settings still are +a0.2 +r2 +am2 for
average renders, and +a0.1 +r4 +am2 for finals if time permits.
