It varies depending on how strong I need that part to be. I believe I've added some info about the infill on the various parts in this build. Typically between 10% (draft) 15% lightest production part, 20 for medium strength and 35-40 for very strong parts. I'm not often using > 50% infill, but if I need the strongest possible part, I would maybe do 75%, but usually I find the additional strength doesn't weight up for the additional print time.
