I shoot a with a Canon D60 so this may not be appropriate for Nikon's, but I generally have it set for Auto ISO with a top limit of 400, and only reset it higher when necessary. I have not noticed 'noise' but I'm not looking at the pictures with a Pro's eye.
It is my first DSL and still use it as by second back up.
Getting back to topic, all of my EOS's have the best quality at 100 ISO. I only go higher as a last resort not to exceed 400 with my 50D's. My wife's T5i is a bit more forgiving and can go to 800 with the same noise as my 50D's at 400. I still get the shot at 800 or higher, but would never print them as a good pic.
