I would say it depends on the overall package--there is no simple formula.
If you believe in the product/company and are taking on the position at a
reduced salary/benefits and have are receiving a stake in the company as
compensation, then be sure the percentage you're getting is worth the
reduced salary.  If your salary is competitive then I don't see a whole lot
of justification for stock/options beyond what you would get at any other
company that offers options as a benefit.
