The width should be slightly wider than the shoulders. The arms should be lowered about 15 degrees from the armpit (the optimal angle when the width is lowered). Keep the shoulders fixed, and don't obsess over the scapula. Lower and raise only to the depth where you can feel the contraction and relaxation of the chest. It should feel like only the elbows are straightening.

Personally, when I held the bar wide, I felt a lot of strength in the outer chest muscles, and when I held it narrow, I felt the strength evenly distributed. I tried doing 20 reps with an empty bar to get a feel for it before moving on.
