Youd better leave it on the default since most browsers will cache it automatically. a HIT can be a vary of HITs like TCP_IMS_HIT etc and not just a TCP_HIT. You also need to understand how squid does the cache and override. How is it goes without the refresh_pattern? why would you want to force it on all sites when many of them has far more longer cache headers then 60 min?
