In our Illustrator CC template we currently suggest exporting SVGs using a decimal precision of 4. This precision value can create artifacts on subtle curves at the dimensions we're currently designing at:
In other icon libraries we suggest using a decimal precision of 3 and also use the Minify option. Testing on existing icons show no degradation in quality and small file size improvements:
sushi
restaurant-pizza
horse-riding
Higher decimal precision should allow for more complex icons, but given the artifacts noted above and this detailed write-up on dimension and decimal precision, I think using 3 for the maki template should be appropriate.
