I don't care for the defaults for either screen (C-a) or tmux (C-b), since both are these are commonly used. I tend not to use C-z (suspend) a lot, so I have bound my prefix to that. In those cases you do need to suspend the command running in the tmux or screen window, you can easily tap C-z twice; this workflow also tends to work outside of tmux or screen, since the shell will suspend with the first C-z, and then effectively ignore the second.
