We keep all our TABLE SPACES at about 20% free and add datafiles as needed. There are exceptions but this is the rule of thumb. We do not care about how much a DATA FILE is full. We also have monitoring on the file systems and ASM groups. On the average we increase/add one datafile about once a week..
