For TLS and data channel ciphers, the tool is "trust OpenVPN and your TLS
libraries" (and do not forget to *update* your stuff regularily).

Under normal conditions there is nothing you can do in your config file
which will *improve* security.  But there is much you can do wrong.

You do want to use tls-auth or tls-crypt, which is the only thing where
"default" is not good enough.
