I actually like the challenge a good band of brigands can offer sometimes. It's good for your generals since they will get some battle experience, so I keep it at the standard value. If the brigands appear, I will fight them.

I always put brigands at 0. Then they spawn in big armies which make for good battles which make my general uber awesome when he invades greece with 3/4 of an army made of levies and wins 6 battles in a row.
In my experience increasing the number leads to less spawns, but the spawning armies are bigger. So instead of getting masses of 2 unit armies, I get one 3/4 stack rebel army now and then. And that poses quite a bit more of a problem if spawning in poorly guarded homelands. And playing "Hard" on alex.exe causes them to actually to roam the lands, leaving destruction all along their path.
