In most cases I have found taking the range from the bridge roofs are best.
Now if I had a lot of time on my hands, which I don't. I would do this for every ship and record the values so I could relay the info to you fine people. I may do it on the weekend.
If you want these keys modded, use my commands keys in my downloads.

you have to take into account the fact that the range the XO gives you is usually fairly off from the real range. You can verify this by comparing the range he gives you with the real range on the map when you have map updates "on".
