It really depends on what games you play and how large you want the set to be.

We play 1/2 NLHE and rarely 2/5. In the casinos, those games are played with a few $1 chips and a BUNCH of $5 chips. So that's what I get, plus enough higher denom chips to cover us if the action gets heavy.

If I was limited to say 300 chips, I would get many fewer $5s and more higher denom chips, but the stacks in front of each player would be smaller.
