Target body weight, that is.

That depends. For strength days I want as much weight as I can correctly rep X 5-6 reps for 3-4 sets. I don't want to walk away tired. Other days I want to be worn out so less weight but more reps.

In that case, if you're not competing then whatever weight is easiest to maintain within the health goals you are pursuing. I don't like my weight to fluctuate more than 2-3 lbs.

staying within 5-10 lbs of whatever the weight max is for my height(based on USAF standards). If I'm not lifting to bulk up then my weight should be within 5lbs at all times. I am well under 6ft tall so I shouldn't be anywhere close to 180-200lbs(in my opinion)

For me, target body weight is a weight that is healthy, but also achievable. Too many people make unrealistic goals and basically set themselves up for failure. But having an achievable goal would help with losing or gaining at a healthy rate.
