Tight enough so there's no wobble but loose enough so you can turn the drum nice and easy by hand.

The rear one should be done up tight enough so that the big washer can just about be moved/slid over using a screw driver. That is tight enough. No torque or weight or anything.

Correct, just tight enough to take up any play is the right way
