I've tested and tested and I seem to like 1014,15 the best, I know thats not the norm but its my favorite
anything under say 1012 to me; seems watery
 
Depends on style: I'd say 1010-1012 in general, but I'm ok with lower for APAs/IPAs and can be (should be) higher for Porters/Stouts, etc.
 
For the lighter styles I've made; wheats and pale ales; I usually like to fall in 1.010 to 1.015.
My vanilla stout (really the only dark beer I make consistently) I like it around 1.020.
Made a barleywine that's still aging and that came out at 1.030 post-fermentation, using a starter, and that was way too high. :(
