Always go for the highest they offer. E.g. If you apply for a job 25,000 - 35,000 go for 35k. My thinking behind this is that it shows you're confident in your ability. Remember a lot of companies are big enough to incur an extra 5k of salary in order to get the very best candidate.
I'd say the above becomes more true the bigger the company gets... Small companies <10 employees this theory could well breakdown.
