    Those settings are mostly for internal network and have little to do with how the computer interacts with the internet at large. Home should be fine for your application.

    Is there any danger of hacking etc and having it set to public?

    There is really just no need for it. ...and yes it will assume you want to allow pretty much all incoming connections.
