There's a trade-off between performance and convenience here.  If you have 
AllowOverride All set by default, then each HTML request generates a check 
for .htaccess files in the directory tree of the requested page.

If you have clients who need to be able to change their own settings 
in .htaccess, set the AllowOverride for that specific point in the tree.  If 
not, if it's a system you manage entirely, then put the settings in a directory 
specific seciton of your main html.conf file instead. and leave AllowOverride 
None.
