This is actually an EXCELLENT question.
In my opinion, table conditions absolutely affect the answer. The more passive and straightforward the table is (or, more generally, the better you think you play postflop than everyone else) as a whole the more hands you can raise in position.
See my stove below - J9s BARELY has an equity advantage over those limping ranges. At a tricky table I think I just call.
It's pretty easy to set this up in stove and see what kind of equity hands like 76s+, T8s+, suited broadways, offsuit broadways, pocket pairs et al have. With position and a postflop skill advantage you can profitably raise hands with a small hot cold equity deficit that play well multiway.
