Yahoo says it's better to use a 0 for the time. They consider anything over 10 seconds to be a 302, anything less than 10 to be a 301. If you want the new page included and the old to be passing it's value to the new, 0 - 9 seconds would be much preferred, with 0 being the best in my opinion. No need for people to even sit staring at an outdated page for any amount of time.
