I'd say initial run off time is as long as it takes. Start slow, erring on the slow side until you get to know your system. I believe slower is better for efficiency too.
I let the sparge water sit for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5-10 minutes. I believe this also helps efficiency.

for batch sparging, let it drain as fast as it can, without getting bits of grain. my SS braid lets tiny grain bits thru unless I only open my ball valve on the MLT about 75-80%
add sparge water, stir, wait 5 mins, vorlauf, then let er rip.
