I typically use a custom export setting from 3dsmax to OBJ. The Zbrush preset is ok to use as a starting point for making your own custom OBJ export preset, but you will likely need to add more settings. You have to decide if the model will be used for 3d printing, or is it a CG asset for games or VFX? Do you have textures that the OBJ should use? There are options to select for all of these variables. OBJ is still very popular, but people are moving away from OBJ in favor of FBX as a much better and more reliable exchange format for most CG assets.

I think I understand what you mean, but OBJ is a universal file exchange type regardless of the optimizations you used on export. It will still open one way or another in most software packages. The only thing is that the scale may need to be adjusted and materials may need to be added manually. So just choose the most universal preset, and if you need materials be sure you include the mtl file which should contain the relative path to your texture folder. There's no way to really guarantee everyone will see the file the same way. That's why FBX is being used more often now.
