I thought he wanted to know what stakes (buy in to a table) is the comfort zone for your play.

This depends on the bankroll you have for playing poker.
For cash games, this may be easy to answer.
Some say 20 to 30 Buy ins is a safe way to play a given stake,
so for NL 5 cash game you should have at least $150 if you want to go up to NL 10 your bankroll should have at least $300 and so on.

For tournaments, you can use an average buy in of 1-2 % of your bankroll for a given tournament and the values for going up the stakes depend on your bankroll too. You can consider going up the stakes if you have at least 100 average buy ins for the next stake level.

All these things apply only if you play poker in a kind of professional approach.
You can also use tools on the internet, like the risk of ruin calculators on the primedope site as a guideline for cash games and tournaments.

If you have to go down the stakes very often you should consider some study time to improve your game.

If you play for fun you can play according to your budget (play only for money that you can lose) and you feelings about your playing strength.
