I use limits a lot when animating.

What they are set to depends on what I am trying to animate, they always seem to be conditional.

I don't use them when setting up/modifying joints in a character so I can bend the joint as far as wireframe and type of joint setup will allow. If you can get the joint to look good past what they normally bend it will look fine with limits setup and on.
