What are the best starting points for the cw and ssb receive eq settings on the K3?

Flat.

The primary purpose of the receive equalizer is to compensate for uneven
frequency response in the receiver speakers, headphones, or listener's ears.

It does not add additional selectivity.

Also, I suggest if you are using it in CW that you leave the response at
or near your preferred sidetone pitch at 0 dB and do whatever
compensation you need relative to that setting.  The reason is that at
very narrow selectivity settings (50 Hz and 100 Hz) the receiver
equalizer is not active.  If you are using the receiver equalizer to
provide some sort of peak at your chosen pitch, you will experience a
drop in overall gain when the equalizer is bypassed at these narrow
selectivity width settings.
