If you agree there is acceleration and deceleration, then around 18 fps might be a good number. Consider controllability - 100 fps is possible, but would it be good? OTOH, 5 fps would be very powerful in a pushing match...if you could get there before the match ends.

You need to find out from your strategy folks what you need to accomplish, and set a speed based on that, not SWAG.
