The flattop window is better for amplitude accuracy but requires about twice as much data acquisition for a sweep with the same RBW. This means the Nuttall window can sometimes result in a faster sweep for specific configurations at the expense of up to ~0.7dB amplitude accuracy. So it depends on what tradeoffs you are willing to make. The rest of your settings are good defaults IMO.
