Put it in the parameterless constructor, that's what I'd do.

@abatishchev - big assumption. I have seem many cases where constructors were not chained. – Oded Aug 09 '10 at 07:54

You need to initialize it in all constructors.

I would think the best way is to set the default in the constructor of the class
