This is what I do in general. Not every step is done for all my rips – otherwise as mentioned below:
Clickrepair
Light de-Clicking, significant clicks manually removing
De-Noising: no
@ Level: 4 / 15% auto / various settings
DeCrackle: off
Pitch Protection: on
Reverse: on
Method: Simple
Clickrepair / Sony Sound Forge Pro 10
Lead in, Lead out, gap between the tracks – no signal @ level: 100 – 100% auto: always (not in live recordings!)
heavy clicks / anomalies ( mark the region, copy in a new (Sony Sound Forge Pro 10) file. Open in Clickrepair (every option off) and let it run until the click/part and repair/removing manually (Clickrepair is able to calculate the possible groove running, try out how it most fits …)

I try to do my very best to clean it from every clicks and anomalies, that’s for sure. My aim is to use clickrepair on a very low level. My own experience has shown me if the “Clickrepair-Level” is too high (over 15), it can be happen that you lose music signals, especially at acoustic guitar music and/or also at hard electronic signals.
Sometimes less is more!
