I like the list style to default to Details but it keeps on changing to thumbnails.  I want this to be the case for every type of playlist

is there a default view setting?

Two things:

1. When you create new views and playlists, they default to a style depending on the contents of the list.  Generally this works out to: Details for views/lists that are mostly Audio files, and Thumbnails for everything else.

2. List Styles are remembered per-playlist or view.  There is no way to set them for ALL views or smartlists, but once you change them, they should never change back "on their own".

If #2 is happening to you, and you are using a Library Server with some client machines, please note that you MUST make this change on the Server, not from the Clients.  All changes to your Library Media Views are reverted and lost when the client copy is closed.  This includes things like List Styles.

I add a toolbar button to the top of MC that allows me to quickly cycle through all of the List Styles.  I also generally prefer Details list styles for most media types (except images), though occasionally it is handy to quickly toggle it to Thumbnails mode for a minute.
