I know it could be very different based on the situation, but for hosting a website with no plans to move the hosting server what is a good TTL to set on the DNS record?

I tend to leave it at Slicehost's default, 86,400 seconds (1 day). I drop it down to 10 minutes when I have a move pending and wait a day or two.
edit: These days (2016) I tend to keep it low - ~5 minutes.
