Best Answer

The best F-stop for any lighting condition is always the one which gives you the desired depth of field and shutter speed. Low light just forces you to make some decisions or trade-offs. Is the subject moving? Do I have the cooperation of the subject? Did I bring a tripod? If I use a tripod and slow shutter speed, can I tolerate movement of objects in the photo? Am I willing to accept some grain which will result from using a higher ISO, then remove the noise later? Did I bring a faster lens?

No easy answers here as you can see. When in doubt, take several shots using different F-stop / shutter speed combinations. You may need extra film or memory. Also, study shots taken by others in advance - particularly shots which capture the look you are trying to achieve. Watch for any F-stop details which they may reveal, but don't ignore the lens, ISO and so on. They all play a role.
