Alex,
there are no "good" values or "bad" values. The amount of
equilibration you want to use is essentially dictated by
the transformation you are interested in. What you really
want to avoid is a lag between the Hamiltonian and the
configurations of your system, because the latter does
not immediately equilibrate in response to the perturbation
or change in the Hamiltonian. A good suggestion is to monitor
your ensemble average as a function of time and decide when
it is time to start accumulating the data that will contribute
to your free energy estimate.
