Hydro/Drip watering intervals

Just looking for some expertise on watering interval timing for a RDWC + drip system schedule. Going to put some seedlings in hydroton (6in net lids/ 5 gal buckets) with 1/4in tubing pumping from the res to the rapid rooter base. The submersible pump will be on a timer but I'm having a hard time finding a straight answer on how often I should flood the roots. Some say 15 min on/45 min off. Other say 24/7. The idea is to avoid hand watering the seedlings until they reach the water solution in the buckets. This will be my first hydro grow so any tips are appreciated. Thanks
