In my experience some workouts where you push yourself to the max are beneficial, and help prevent you from getting lazy, but, overall I'd say it's better to go at like 70-80%. Less risk of injury/burnout. You'll be better off at a lower intensity for a longer period of time than a high intensity for a short period of time.
That said, if you're on roids/working out for a living/can sleep 10-12 hours per night/have an insane amount of discipline/etc, then by all means, workout at a high intensity for many months/years.
