As a former chef, it all depends on what your using it for or if your just eating it, the higher cocoa solids like 80-85% are o.k for eating but very intense, they make better chocolate mousse, sauces, hot chocolate and in other cooked foods.
I never use one type, I generally add a touch of milk chocolate or a lighter dark based one. If it is to strong you don't really enjoy the flavour, it is like to much sugar or alcohol in food, it masks the real flavour.

My favorite is the extra dark chocolate truffles which are 60%
This can explain the differences:
