Is this the best selection rule for grabbing everything?

-sel:all,+sel:all,-sel:attachment,=100:all
I set the minimum title length to 0 and want to grab everything except attachments so all audio, video, and subtitle tracks. Is this the best universal selection rule for all discs?

The -sel:all at the start is redundant, because you have +sel:all right afterwards, negating it.

FWIW, the default selection rule will grab everything except 3D video and attachments if you don't have a favorite language set (and you can have it grab 3D video too by removing the -sel:mvcvideo).
