I don't know about a list of those settings, but doing all the settings you want in an application and then reading its preference file should reveal them to you. Setting them globally afterwards should give you the default you want. I think I may just write this up in a blog post, as it could be quite handy and the defaults system is one of the nicer parts of OSX.

It seems to work (i.e. I quit TextEdit, trashed its prefs, launched it to confirm that by default the extension would be hidden, then quit it again, trashed the new prefs just created, then applied the recommended command-line command, then launched TextEdit again, and indeed by default the file extension was visible). Is there another one like this to force all Save As dialog to have the file location browser visible in full by default? Are all these inaccessible prefs documented somewhere? Good one.

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSNavLastUserSetHideExtensionButtonState -bool NO
