I think something in the 6-8% is a good zone. I go for both low-yield-high-growth and high-yield-low-growth companies, but some companies fall right in the middle of that spectrum - something like JNJ which has a 5-yr DGR of 7.6%.
On a side note, I like visuals, so I plot Yield vs Growth Rate to see if there are any holes in my portfolio. Not that I will try to pick something that would fit into that hole, but just for a better understand of my portfolio composition.
