Default spark plug - 11 ft-lbs or 22 ft-lbs?

I need to know if i torque down to 11 ftlbs (What Install University says) or 22 ftlbs (What my Haynes says). @ Install University it says hand tight, then maybe a quarter turn. When i torqued plug #1 down to 22 ftlbs it seemed alot tighter than 1/4 turn from handtight......

How bout i go somewhere in between... say 15FTLBS? I hope having some looser than others doesn't affect anything.
