What's the best setting on a digital camera to take pictures with for some photoshop work?

I have an 8.2 megapixel Samsung L100 camera to take pictures with. I want to take pictures of myself with a white background so my friend can superimpose my image onto another background for an album cover (I’m a hip hop artist). I have a few settings on a dial on this camera and I need to know what’s the best setting for the photoshop work that I want to be done. Do I need to be specific on the idea I have for the whole project to determine the correct setting? Let me know via PM, as I don’t really want to pitch the idea to just anyone. Thanks!!
