Do you keep high or low deductibles on your rentals?

I've gone back and forth on this and am trying to decide which makes more sense.  Seems if something broke under $1,000, I may not want to claim it and i may benefit from pushing my deductible up for the things like roof, etc that doesn't happen very often, especially for homes I own that have new or relatively new roofs.

What are your thoughts?  How do you manage this for your rentals?

My deductible is $2,500. I am not going to file a claim for anything less than that, so might as well save some money on my premium!
