Under dark skies, almost always 1600.


ETTR then ITTR. Increase your exposure as much as possible without causing other problems (e.g. too much motion blur), then, if you still have room on the right of your histogram, use "ISO To The Right" -- increase your ISO as much as possible without clipping any desired highlights *or* going over the maximum useful ISO setting. For a given (fixed) exposure, high ISO has *less* noise than low ISO. That may seem counter-intuitive, but it's true. The maximum useful ISO on any Canon camera is never more than 3200, and usually no more than 1600. (That's because 6400 and above is a braindamaged digital operation in the camera.)

I usually go with daylight, then play with it in post to see what looks best.
