John, Create a fill pattern and then go into properties. Then click on the Fill/View Select tab and it shows all the fills (Fill 1-18 or whaterver it is). If you start selecting different ones and look at the properties you will notice each different fill changes the # of partitions and/or the stitch length and density. They all effect the look of your fill as well as the coverage. I do most of my fills in 8 partitions cause thats the look I like but it does depend on what you are putting it on as well as the size of the fill you are working with. For instance if you are doing a large fill area you may want longer stitches to make less total stitches. I have found with fills you just have to play with different settings to find out the look you are happy with.
