Full buy in if you are better postflop than the other players..
If the other players are better than you postflop, you should go with some smaller amount.

It really depends. On some sites the default BI is 200bb, but on most it is 100bb. If you sit with 200bb and most of the other players are also deep you will inevitable end in a lot of pot control situations with good, but not great hands, that you could be much more aggressive with if you were playing 100bb. In NLHE:TAP they talk about a "sweet spot" in terms of the relationship between the bb amount and stack size that will allow a player to maximize his winnings. The "sweet spot" isn't necessarily in excess of 100bb. My "sweet spot" is somewhere around 100bb.
