Why would your base ST matter?

Everyone regains fatigue at the same speed. So at most the difference would be a couple of points of fST at the end of the day when you go to sleep and fill your fST to maximum again.

My thinking would rather be that an apprentice will cast his 25ish points of aid, and if he has a high DX he will be more rested at the end of the day and if he has a low DX he will be more exhausted.

Let's say you contribute 5 mana at a time. And fail 50% of the time. That means you cast about 6 mana worth of Aid every 1,5h. So in a 12h shift you could provide 50ish mana. But if half is wasted due to logistical timing problems and the apprentice practicing his own spells I guess 25 is reasonable average.
