What is the recommended number of confirmations after which the transaction can be considered accepted?

Bitcoin recommends to wait 6 confirmations before considering the transaction accepted. I know that I should not trust a transaction with 0 confirmations and also that after 360 confirmations the transaction is immutable. But what is the recommended number of confirmations that one should aim for?

Or rather what is the probability that blockchain will be reverted after 1 confirmation, 2 confirmations, … 359 confirmations?

I am sure 6 confirmations is safe for XEM as well. I do know that exchanges can require 10 to 20 confirmations.
