Is there a best practice as far as FillFactor is concerned for a non-sequential clustered index?

I have done some searching, and 80% seems like an acceptable answer.

I know that non-sequential keys are not a good idea, but I am stuck with it in this case and want to mitigate the damage.

There isn't really a best practice on this as it depends on your environment. 80% is typical though.
