The answer really is that it depends on the rest of the geometry and what you are trying to accomplish.
Sometimes this number won't be listed in the geometry, only the bb drop (which is the more important thing to look at IMO).
Also important to remember this number is dynamic for any non-rigid bike, hardtails included. So in addition to the "ideal" number being dependent on the other numbers, it will vary anyway as you pedal and move over obstacles, and the sagged number will be different than the static number. Some companies list sagged geometry (though I wish they wouldn't), which confuses things further.
