Suzee you are right , this matter is extremely personal , and also
connected to weather , climate, Availability of Warm inside places
etc...
Any `statistics made on the Basis of One /same knitter , in same
enviroment , wouldn`t be Scientific enough.
In order for such a Poll , to be accurate , the swatches of Same
person , will have to be shown , in Other climatic places than his/her
own, To other groups of people.
And with it Swatches of Several Knitters , have to be shown as well .

Size matters.
Ideally I'll knit worsted at 6spi, DK at 7-8spi, and fingering at
9+spi. My tensioning issues these days have me knitting on 2/0
needles for socks, 2.5-3mm for sweaters.
I have one pair of socks in the stash that I knitted at 12spi using
Opal yarn. I think future archaeologists will probably find those
socks...

I cannot give you an exact answer!
It surely depends of the yarn. I knit most often plain wool.
To my opinion each wool stitches shall live and breathe,
but never be flimsy or "lonely"!
They shall "lean" upon eachother and seem to depend of eachother, up and
down and to both sides, but never be squeesed!
Then they insulate best, and the yarn looks at its' best.
Well, now you think I am crazy, and may be that's right! LOL!
I don't think this made much sence to you...but OK!
