I think I may rely too heavily on the numbers at the level I play (≤100NL). I use them to influence decisions, but not make them.
Preflop I use the standard numbers to influence decisions (mostly to help me figure out implied odds or when to help to convince myself to reraise to isolate), VP$IP, %PFR and sometimes I look at cold call
On the flop I have three numbers displayed that I rely on. %fold to CB and %player CBs and AF. I really use these numbers to tailor my actions to the correct style of opponent. At my levels you run into a real problem of making a move against a player that is incapable of being influence by the move, so I use this numbers to help me make the correct decision on the flop.
On the turn and river I look at total won and % won at showdown to help me figure out what to do.
I have it set so that it doesn’t display info on anyone with less that 25 hands (I think this is the default setting). I think 25 hands should be enough to establish trends on a player. After a 100 hands, statistically the trends shouldn’t vary too much to change your view of the player (for our purposes folding to a CB 85% is the same as folding to a CB 75%). If you are looking for more specific info than trends, I think you are relying too much on the numbers and not enough on the situation.
