I don't think there is anything in Customer Defaults. Have you tried using Templates? These can be customised then dragged and dropped onto the post view.
Create your Postview -> set your user defined settings ("Deformation = Absolute Scale 1 and Edges & Faces = Feature ") -> RMB on PostView -> New Template -> RMB on created template -> Make Default
Creating a new PostView these settings should be applied by default.
