IMO minimum 1m sats. Anything less is too expensive to maintain (opening and closing fees) with very little benefit.
1m to 10m per channel is a good target.
Then again is depends on what you want to do with your lightning node.
If you open a smaller channel use it to learn more about lightning, play around, be reckless. From that perspective the maintenance cost is worth the investment.
