Just for comparison, below are some stats gathered quickly from 2
different and entirely unrelated systems. Real mail stream, real users
only, no traps.

RANK    RULE NAME                       COUNT  %OFMAIL %OFSPAM  %OFHAM        
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  11    URIBL_BLACK                      1202    62.73   63.94    0.00
   8    URIBL_BLACK                       572    41.12   78.36    0.00

Unfortunately, both of these systems are still 3.2.5, so there is no
util_rb_3tld love either, which would drive up the %spam numbers quite a
bit.

Oh, and there are some custom rules in place, which take the highest
ranks in these lists, pushing URIBL and all other stock rules down. So
don't base on the rank...
