I have no idea where these parameters come from (even the ones in Berk's notes). 
  I have never seen people use such settings with Gromos96, and those listed in 
the table conflict with the protocols in the Gromos96 literature.  Settings for 
OPLS-AA are less clear.  It is very common to use 1.0-nm cutoffs (and in fact 
was the case in the Gromacs 4 paper), though the original OPLS literature used 
different cutoffs depending upon what types of molecules were present, which is 
not possible in Gromacs.  You should read lots of papers by people who use 
OPLS-AA for similar types of systems and evaluate their success or inaccuracies.
