I agree with all of the gals who said that there should be enough quilting to accentuate the quilt you are making by determining the use of the quilt and stablizing of the design that must be quilted in such a way as to make it a functional covering.
A dragger quilt that would be used a lot should have enough quilting so that it will hold up to many washings. A dragger can be a baby or child's quilt, a lap quilt or even a couch, picnic or car quilt.
Then there is a nice quilt you are gifting or one used by the family. I feel that moderate quilting is the best.
Then there is the Show quilts that have OMG quilting on them. That are made for showing off the exceptional skills of the piecer and quilter alike.
