Definitely subjective Hedd. I'm reaming some small end bushes at the moment and recall a few years back bottling the job and taking it to my nearest engine workshop. They came back just as loose as the ones I had condemned and replaced!
On a sporting engine at least, I always feel a bit 'fast and loose' is better than micro-tolerance tight.
Bob also mentioned shimming the cap out and I let him get away with it too! But never on a shell bearing, please...
