depends on some specific things such as:
-topography i need to fly over to get to the destination.
-location of LZ (Lee vs Windward)
-gust spread
-who I am flying (frequent fliers or head shed)
-what airframe i'm in
-how balsy i'm feeling
40-50 kts is my general purpose comfort zone. If it is higher it better be for a good reason. And yes, I think subjectively when making flight decisions. It is never black and white, no matter how much we, as an industry, push for it to be.
