When I shoot in Aperture priority with my D50, I almost always dial in -0.7 Ev to avoid blowing out highlights like crazy. Generally it's also the exact exposure I want, but sometimes I have to bring the other levels up afterwards in Lightroom. But yeah, -.7 is about right for whatever reason.
It's no substitute for learning the basics of exposure and shooting in M, though. I only use Av when I'm going back and forth between lighting conditions, usually outside on a sunny day when I'm going between shade and bright sunlight. The difference is often 8 or more stops, which is just crazy, and I kick myself when I end up ruining shots because I forgot to change my exposure.
