Generally you want 19 HP in order to reduce the amount of recoil you take from Life Orb (1 point per move as opposed to 2 per move if you have 20). With Substitute it's the same principle, so you never want your HP to be a multiple of 4 because if you do that you only get 4 subs as opposed to 5.
Edit: Ninja'd :p
