I don't think this is a good idea. Maybe 100, but definitely nothing
bigger.
Why ?

With priority up to 100, the packages from experimental will not be upgraded with a normal upgrade command, but the packages will need explicit upgrade requests.

As packages from experimental are experimental and may break your system without warning, requiring you to explicitly request upgrades of such packages seems like a good idea to me.

look at "man apt_preferences" or search for docs on apt pinning for information about what the number means.
