This is a personal preference.  You must decide for yourself where
your "sweet spot" is.  Nobody else knows what sounds good to you,
or how much space you consider "too much".

Enough that you'd probably be better off going with a lower quality
setting for casual listening, or lossless if you want archival.
Usually around 450-500 kbps for standard 44100/16/2 (CD) music.
