Dunno either what they all use, but:

* When `pop-up-frames' is non-nil, other-window commands etc. use another frame.
So a value such as the default `friendly' will anyway use another frame.

* Personally, I use non-nil `pop-up-frames' and `friendly' for
`Man-notify-method', and nil for `Man-frame-parameters'.  But I also
automatically fit the frame (fit-frame.el, autofit-frame.el).
`Man-frame-parameters' is not needed if you automatically fit the frame.
