The lower the difficulty level, the more free I feel to fool around with moving my first settler. I still don't think I've ever moved more than two tiles (i.e. founding my first city in 3900 bc) in any case.
If I were messing around on Chieftan or Warlord I'd move two, maybe even three, unless I had a scout to check things out for me. Regent and Monarch, I'll move once to get to a river, or the coast, or cattle. When I start trying my hand in earnest at Emperor or perhaps even higher, I'm sure I'll play it as it lies no matter what (well, okay, four cows on river bonus grassland tiles, I guess i'd move for that, but you get the idea).
