I regularly host a 50¢/$1 Kill limit HE game with standard betting structure (25¢/50¢ blinds, 50¢ bet P/F, $1 bet T/R, 4 bet cap per round).
$20 dollar buyin works well. I usually issue: 4 - 25cent, 20 - 50cent, 9 $1 or something close.
I like the use of a kill to add a little extra excitement to microlimit games. I have also used "overs" where betting limits increase when all micro limit players have folded. This adds a little excitement for some players who want occassional forays into higher limits like $1/$2 - $5/$10. Of course persons who are playing overs would buyin in for additional amounts with chip breakdowns depending on the limits.
