I host a weekly .50/1 NLHE cash game. Here is how I set it up, it seems to work out pretty well.

Blinds: .50 / 1.00 (obv.)

Min Buy In: $20 (usually make concessions if someone wants to buy in shorter, but it's discouraged)

Max Buy In: $100 ($100 is large enough to play deep, but not large enough to run over whole table)

The average buy in is from $40 - $60, with some $20's and usually 1 $100.

We normally get around $400 - $700 in the pot by the end of the night, plenty of action.
