What is the best way to determine this? Is a flat number best, or should it be based on one of the user's ability scores?

I believe the 5e design almost always has items use their own DC, rather than the user's spell DC.

This, and as far as what the set DC should be, just look at spell scrolls or other existing items with spells of the same level as the homebrew.
