Is this a push question or a live question in general?

Swing set to 7% is a good starting place.

Record parts with no quantize. Quantize parts selectively (or move them to taste). Use percentages such as 50% or 75%. Even very high percentages like 90-95% keeps a slight human feel in your song.

For swing, I mainly just rely on the MPC presets and use just a slight amount (unless I want a swingy beat). Also alot of late 80s hip hop used alot of 1/16T time signatures. Good Drum-loops help as well.

Alot depends on what you are trying to do. A jazz groove would be different from a Rock groove, or House Groove, or Hip Hop groove but most of it is just variations of the above (or just having great timing to start with).
