I like both show-paren-mode and blink-matching-open. Show-paren-mode shows
the matching paren all the time; blink-matching-open shows it only when you
add a closing paren.

But I use a subtle face for show-paren-mode, so it's not at all in-my-face.
When a face background is only slightly highlighted wrt the frame, it's
noticeable only if you look for it, which you do only when you want it. Find
a face that is noticeable, but not too noticeable, wrt your default
background etc. YMMV.

FWIW, I see no need to change any defaults in this regard. Someone who
programs in Lisp (where paren matching is important) will have no trouble
finding and customizing these things.
