I was at Lowe's the other day and the Sta Green 16-0-10 fertilizer had spreader settings for three different Scott's spreaders, an Earthway, and Chapin. Oddly enough it didn't have settings for its own brand Sta Green broadcast spreader. I was potentially interested in getting the smaller 20lb Sta Green broadcast - anyone have any leads as to what a good setting on that would be?

With these lesser expensive spreaders it’s a little more trial and error. I’d recommend starting with the smallest setting that allows some fertilizer to drop and slowly opening it up. Also, a scale will help to measure the amount of product the bag recommends per application. Worst case, you leave the spreader on a lower setting and make multiple perpendicular passes to get as even coverage as possible.
As for the 16-0-10, unless you’ve had a soil test indicating an application of K, or you’re seeing K deficiency in the grass, it would be an unnecessary application of that particular element. I’d suggest instead the 20-0-0, which is also available at Lowe’s, for your regular feedings.
