but I don't see a reason to continuously run it there..

Because you can! Assuming voltages are in check, of course. My 4770K is running at 4.7GHz 24/7 at 1.34v. I assume your chip can do better than that.

Why do you need to find a good setting for the cards? It will vary from card to card. In fact, one of your cards will not overclock as well as the other I'm sure.

Start by bumping memory by +25 and running a benchmark each time (Hint: go ahead and bump your memory by +300 and start from there in +25 increments)

With core, move your voltage slider to the right and see what the core boosts to.

You will absolutely need to use afterburner OSD or GPU-Z to monitor your clock speed during benching. These cards don't operate the same way you're used to. They boost based on need and power availability. To know your stable clocks, you have to know what speed they're running during benchmarks and gaming.

Start by downloading GPU-Z and checking the ASIC scores of each card:
