What are the recommended directory permissions? I'm gearing up to deploy a Drupal 7 site and I can't find any documentation about what the recommended security-conscious file and directory permissions should be set to.

Specifically default/files/ (also sub directories?), settings.php, .htaccess and anything else I should be aware of.
That drupal page like so many is very long and confusing. But it contains this post by Jason, who hit the nail on the head:

  Thanks for writing this and everything, but all that I and 99% of people reading this page really want is a list of numbers next to a list of folders. 
  
  
  /default on 755 
  /default/files including all subfolders and files on 744 (or 755) 
  /default/themes including all subfolders and files on 755 
  /default/modules including all subfolders and files on 755
  /default/settings.php and /default/default.settings.php on 444
