Personally, I would go for at least five. Your own experiences may vary on that, of course.

I dont really see the point in taking a Jetbike over a normal bike. Sure you can turbo boost longer and you can ignore some difficult terrain.
But now you are allowed armour saves on dangerus terrain so its not that bad for normal bikers.
And you get +1 Toughness saving you from ID from melta and most fists.
About the number of bikes, take as many as you can. Bikers for 20p each is really nice.

Rule of Cool? Every army can afford to have one frivolous use of points just because it's awesome. Unless you got nuts, it's not going to break the bank as it were. You can still come out with a very good list.

Well, I'm going for a unit of six, sacred number for EC. A unit of three might die before the Lord reaches his target. You don't want to leave him unprotected.

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
