Bad players vary their raise and give away too much information to me.

If you are a beginer you are way better off using a standard.

Of course a good thinking player can disguise their hand if they think someone is paying attention, However this is not a good plan for micro stakes since usually 4 out of your 5 opponnents is only paying attention to their own hand.

Also, you ask if there is a better standard.

Sometimes I just raise 6xbb because theres 1 or 2 players seeing > 80% of the flops. I think the standard is a good starting point but theres certianly room to adjust based on how your table is playing.
