Awesome 
The problem is you can't really compare one user to another as we use our phones very differently.
For reference I have
Background App refresh disabled
75% of location settings enabled
Notifications set for Messenger, 2 email accounts, Facebook Pages
Connected to car bluetooth / Garmin Forerunner 35% of the time
Wifi on
Mixture of music streaming / text messaging / phone calls / FaceTime / web browsing
Easily see a day and a half usage. Best I've seen is approx 8/9 hours usage and 53 hours standby and I think I still had about 5-6% left

Generally it's pretty good despite living in the valleys of Wales
There are a couple of areas where it may be as low as 1 bar but thankfully it's rare. It's mostly between 2 and full bars so it's not wasting battery looking for signal
I typically have the usual apps on: Email, calendar, contacts, Safari, iTunes, Camera, a few news sites, stocks, weather, etc.
No , i mean do you keep everything on for the settings like background app refresh , location services , etc
I usually keep location services on as well as background refresh on some apps.
i wanted a smaller phone. i went from the 6 plus to the 8 bc i hated the large size. with an active lifestyle i just didnt feel it worked well having such a large phone.
