The only difference between playing 22 or 99 for a set is that if you hit a set with 22 any other set beats you, If you hit it a set w/ 99 you can destack any lower set also.
Two things:
1. Set over set occurs very infrequently.
2. Not many people are raising with 88 or less. Some do, but it's not happening much.

This is why I don't make much distinction in regards to set it or forget it.
