What is ideal exposure?

When I set the iris control manually using the waveform exposure display I usually try to get the graph in under the second bold line at the top - I think that's like 75-80%.

The camera's autoexposure logic on the same frame will always bring it in under that.

In the LCD my setting looks better to me obviously brighter etc. - but I feel I do have a tendency to over expose the frame.

What (approx) level of exposure should I look looking for in the frame?
Is aiming for 75-80% too much?
