Hard is pretty fair in my opinion. I still think it is slightly unrealistic because it is difficult to make trades that look fair for both teams unless you hit the AI at its preferred time (which varies according to its circumstances but winter meetings and trade deadline are best).
Average is realistic but somewhat easy at times. I think it makes the best overall setting if you are willing to restrain yourself from the "dead veteran plus 3 mediocre prospects for Hall of Famer" trades that can be done on this setting. There is also more freedom to dictate the timing of your trade on this setting.
I prefer Neutral over Favor Prospects for normal play but I would switch to Favor Prospects if I wanted to increase the difficulty in a rebuilding scenario.

I agree with this and use hard/neutral and while I still feel like I get a steal every now and then (which is good, just ask us Cardinals fans) it's not near how easy it is to ripoff the computer on average. Trust me, I've also been on the end of WTF did I just do?
And very hard.. too difficult unless I want to survey each team in the league.
