I am looking for some assistance with the pad geometries for 0201 caps
and resistors... 

Is there or is there not an industry consensus on what the optimum pad
geometry should be for them? 

What I am hearing from our assembly houses differs greatly from what is
published in IPC-7351 and the land pattern tool from PCB Matrix. 

Is the max material condition footprint actually a recipe for
tombstoning? 

What have you folks seen? What do you recommend?
