As always with compression artifacts, it depends on the source.
I have some MPEG2 SD TV channels that are so bitrate-starved that they need deband on high. The good thing is I find when you have horrible source, that deband on high also has the side-effect of smoothing out other compression artifacts without needing to enable other algos. Image looses some detail but I definitely prefer it to the bands-and-blocks fest that is the alternative.
