Perhaps, but I hear lots of kids on Channel 1 probably using their FRS radios on default Channel 1.

Channels 15-22 allow for a maximum 50 watts on simplex so long as no repeater in the area is using it as the output frequency.

One that’s not currently in use if you want to find a quiet channel to communicate with friends and/or family. You have to do some monitoring to determine this  

if you’re looking to reach out to chat with others, you’ll have listen to determine which channel they are using for chat. 

The answer is specific to your immediate area so any info from those of us not in your backyard is not relevant or reliable.

I would think it depends on what you consider good. For me that means less traffic and as MichaelLAX pointed out more possible watts if needed. Really whatever comes in good and is open to communication to whoever you are communicating with.
