I upvote when something is important, insightful, or interesting. Thought-out comments or ones that add real value to a discussion get one too. Downvotes are carefully considered. Probably less than one a week. I reserve them only for comments that are either actively hostile to the community or demonstrably false. Even then, I think about it two or three times before clicking.
