Shaping vs. Police values

Groupies,

CCIE Prac studies vol-2 : Cisco recommends the Bc vlaue should be equal to CIR*1.5 seconds. and Be= Bc*2.

The earlier recommendation for FRTS are Tc= (125ms)
To test the router defaults I specified a CIR of 2 Mbps w/o Bc and Be with CB-Policing, CB-shaping and GTS on interface. Here's what it shows:

For CB-shaping;
IER7#show policy-map interface
            Traffic Shaping
           Target/Average Byte Sustain Excess Interval Increment
             Rate Limit bits/int bits/int (ms) (bytes)
          2000000/2000000 12500 50000 50000 25 6250
        Adapt Queue Packets Bytes Packets Bytes Shaping

For CB-Policiing :
Serial0/0:0
  Service-policy output: test
            cir 2000000 bps, bc 62500 bytes

For GTS on interface:
#Show run int serial 0/1
  interface Serial0/1
     traffic-shape rate 2000000 50000 50000 1000

Looks like the default Tc for CB-shaping and GTS is set to 25ms
but for CB-policing is 250 ms
Anyone can explain this, what value should we use in Lab ?

thanks
Sumit
