For me it doesn't matter, whatever set by default. I change my pattern of usage.
 
I have 20cc's+ and I had the same dilemma 2 yrs back. I thought the best is 1st of every month but some banks doesn't support this and most bank's do. My main concern was I want a common date so I found the best date is 20th of every month. 99% of the banks support this and 1% who doesn't, they support 19th or 21st. So I choose 20th and banks which doesn't support 20th I kept them at 19th or 21st.

In my view billing date around 18-22 is the best option.
However, I follow two billing days per month. one between 1-3, and another one 15th. All my cards are covered except OneCard, where the billing date is the 22nd, and they don't allow me to change 2nd time.
 
I've set all my cards billing date such as I do payment on a single date (usually 28th of every month or last weekend (sat or sun).
Using CRED for payments since the payment is fast and have never faced a single issue in last 2 years. Below are my cards and corresponding billing dates.

**And yes, I keep my salary in some liquid fund for around 25 days and then do payment. Basically, I never spend my salary 🙂 and live on the Credit Cards.
