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.
