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 (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/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.
