I've set the score for BAYES_50 to 0.7 (I could probably increase that) 
because in practice, almost all my ham is BAYES_00 or BAYES_01, so if a 
message scores 4.3 from other rules it's almost certainly spam unless it 
looks like previous ham. Conversely, if a message hits no other rules, a 
point or even two from BAYES_50 won't bring it anywhere close to the 
threshold.

But this is on a personal mail server with a well-trained bayes database, and 
raising the score for BAYES_50 is basically equivalent to lowering the 
threshold, which is usually not recommended.
