With my experience, I have to say that I'll never burn over 48x. My burner is 52x, but I've never completed a CD going that fast before.
It completely depends on the CD-R you're using as well as the CD-Burner. There's a ton of burners out there that won't even read the correct burning speed of CD-Rs unless they are the highest quality (Memorex, Verbatim, etc.). My brother burned 10,000 mp3's onto nearly 50 CD-Rs, and none of the different CD-R's he used would read above 32x, even though his burner AS WELL as the CDs were 52x.
Same thing happened with my friend. He has a 52x Burner as well. He burned about 18 consecutive CDs at 52x, and then realized that none of them worked after he was done. The CDs were 52x, but they simply wouldn't burn that high using his burner.
There's all sorts of little issues that happen when burning CDs, even down to which IDE cable your hard drive and burner is on. I usually burn at 48x, but if I was burning something important I'd go at 32x max. The slower the safer in most cases!
