25% the majority of the time, ~0% at night, 50-80% outside (depending on how sunny it is), Auto-Brightness turned off as part of the first set of settings on any phone. This is mostly just to keep my eyes from being pained, not so much for battery life (I think my computer monitor has maxed out at 6/100 on its brightness level, and yes, you read that correctly)

Brightness at which level do you keep it at?

I have always used Auto Brightness. It works fairly well and I feel that I get great battery life (iPhone 6s)
Auto. I am a smartphone junkie and currently have 6s, 6s plus lg g5 and galaxy s7. IOS auto brightness is the best and most responsive with LG g5 second. Samsung can never zero in on a good auto brightness to save their life.
... And burnt retinas?
Mine is usually between 45-50%. It is set to auto-bright though, so it's much lower in the dark and higher when I'm outside.
silly question i know but I'm curious as your brightness level.
Low
Medium
High
I prefer high but it is unfortunate that the battery dies faster than other phones i used with high brightness.

Keep my phone between low and medium and have no trouble seeing the phone in bright daylight.
During the day, usually around 50% or so. If I'm outside in the bright sun while wearing my polarized sunglasses, I'll crank it up to 100%, but then it gets dropped again as soon as I'm somewhere indoors (holy crap that's bright!).
In bed, I have it at the minimum setting.
I never use the auto brightness feature.

When I am stock I generally set my phone to the lowest brightness and then turn on Auto Brightness.
Right now though I'm jailbroken (and have been since October) so I use the tweak Auto Brightness which gives me finer control over the settings as well as being almost instantanous in adjusting.

Auto-brightness, almost always below 50% except when outdoors. It's not so much a concern about battery, I just find that level of brightness to be comfortable/adequate.
I use auto-brightness, but it is a bit hard to tell you at what level since it varies depending on the light. The calibration I have it set to is a little brighter than default auto-brightness (e.g. a dark room is a notch or two higher than the lowest setting)
I keep auto brightness turned off.
In the 'Display and Brightness' settings section where it says 'Auto-Brightness' the slider is always set above the two 'ss' in the word Brightness
