I tend to agree with Pelion. As far as I can tell, playing only the hands that are profitable in any given situation is the definition (or at least the driving principle) of TAG style play. When you include in the 0 (or very nearly 0) EV hands, then you've got a LAG style.
Clearly, you'll be bluffing a fair amount with either style, so there are plenty of situations where you're raising with hands that are -EV in a vacuum (i.e., when not taken into the context of a range). Bluffing hands are generally better chosen when they have a certain amount of equity when called... as such, they would be profitable hands if the action was different, and the inclusion of them in your raising range is in order to maximize profitability of the raising range as a whole.
At any rate, what would be LAG stats at any given table might be TAG or spew at another table, or even the same table a few minutes later. Don't worry too much about your own stats at the micros. If everyone limps and no one folds, a TAG range could be as wide as 40% or more. As your opponents become more aware, you'll be forced to manicure your value ranges and bluffs more and more.
Really, I'm concerned that you'd ask this type of question, while playing 16+ tables. If you're not paying enough attention to the Villains to notice what the stats are of the tight regs vs. the loose regs vs. the fish and whales, then your attention is too divided to be playing that many tables at your best.
...
I mean, you may be most profitable at that volume, but you're capping your ability to see deeper into the game than your current level by occupying 100% of your brain power on auto-piloting the tables. In essence, it's like you've found the most profitable short-term solution, but at the expense of the long-term profit of learning and moving up in stakes.
...
Which is fine if you've proven to yourself that you can beat those stakes, and you are just grinding up a small initial deposit to the stakes where you know your attention isn't wasted by trying to pay any more attention to lolfish.
...
Which is why it's a bother that you're asking about things like VPIP/PFR guidelines that have little bearing on your current stakes.
