You want parallel toe because it will help turn in. Yes, you'll lose some straightline stability but in order to drift/get oversteer, you kind of want it a bit loose.

Toe goes from toe in through to toe out. If you want an idea of what that is, point your toes outwards. That's toe out. Then point your toes inwards, that's toe in.

Parallel is having your toes parallel. Personally I prefer measuring toe in mm's. I used to do geo setups on track cars for a bit inbetween stuff, so I used a known datum point to get the measurements as well using a gauge of course.

Sorry if it feels like I'm teaching you to suck eggs, not intended to patronise etc.
