To give you an idea of what batteries like, the Prius aggressively maintains a 60% SoC. If you go higher due to regenerative braking, it will favor a little more EV assist. If it's lower than 60%, it will lower EV assist and favor background charging to bring it up.
In short, the less your battery SoC gauge moves, the better.

I did not realize the SoC gauge was inaccurate. It is such a bummer that I live on a hill. I should be moving soon and hopefully Ill be more on level ground.
