Actually there is an increasing body of research which supports the view that rather then force a high cadance you should find your natural pedalling speed and gear up to the point you feel comfortable.
I toodle along at 85 ish revs per minute no matter what gear I use so I have settled on 48:16 as comfortable to me.
I think it really is down to what you are happy with.
