I'd say two months out on average. I'll do them 2 weeks to expiration and as long as 6 months. Just do everything to avoid paying for time value, buying in the money really helps there and IMO that is buying at a discount right off the bat. Buying deep in the money also increases the delta so when the stock drops 50 cents you have a nearly 50 cent gain instead of a 10 cent gain with an at the money put. At the money are a total ripoff. The moves have to be too large to make anything. Without news you lose.
