I try to find two speeds. Any modern CPU (made in the last year) at stock even is fast enough for daily apps. So I look for a high clock thats easy to get to for 24/7 that is stable.
For benching, whatever passes is good enough.
Id just rather it be stable to not worry about any long term damage to the chip, even though Ive never been known to keep a cpu (or just about any part) more then a month or two.
