Apart from inline crown gear, I follow the golden rule of...

Optimum tooth count = (gear diameter X 2) - 2 

(With a +/- 10% flexibility in the tooth count if necessary).

Using this method for both pinions and spur gears, I get no whining from my drivetrain, which suggests to me good meshing and minimal power loss.
I love puttering with gears
