depends on how big your datafile is . if its a huge datafile and you are doing huge updates or inserts or even reindexing, or sorting then 2GBs will fill up quite quickly. i would suggest you set it to grow by 10% and monitor it for a few weeks. If you are satisfied that xGBs is the max file to keep then set it to that. <br />

Its better to analyze your database growth with 2 TB\unlimited growth option for a week and then set your criteria with this. As others said above, the log growth completely depends upon the transactions happening on the server, so I think this is the correct way. Apart from that the percentage of size growth also matters a lot. Consider it too for configuring your log.
