You should ask for full routes from all your providers + a default.

 If you taking full routes from everyone, why would you need a
default?   If they don't show a route for it, they probably can't reach
it.   I don't think I have run with a default route external for many
years, and so far it hasn't bit me yet..

As I explained in the rest of my email that you conveniently didn't quote, it's so that you can selectively import routes from all your providers in situations where your router cannot handle a full table.
