What is a good Scan Density Threshold?

I am looking to setup a procedure to perform reindexing of tables in our database.
I am going to determine which tables need reindexing based on the Scan Density results off the DBCC SHOWCONTIG process.
I got this method from the following article:

But, it doesn't specify what an optimal (or good start) for the Scan Density threshold to fall below would be.
I have looked up numerous other articles and they all say similar things (you should reindex the tables when the scan density fall below your threshold). But no where can I find an indication of what a good threshold to use would be! LOL!

Thanks for any recommendations. :)
