I guess I'd advocate "total honesty tempered with common sense".
Common sense dictates that you need not blurt out every thought that flashes
through your mind.  Common sense also says that, when asked what you think
about something, try not to offend.  For example, rather than say
"I think that tie sucks", substitute "I think it will clash with the rest of
your wardrobe" or "I prefer this one over here" or "It's not my personal
favorite".  Or maybe even "Where's the OFF switch?".
