Actually your table represents the worst case hero cost because it shows the maximum cost. So its not the luckiest. The luckiest would be the minimum cost.
For example the 2150 you mention is the max L2 hero cost (1050) + max ally cost (1100). But you can get a L2 hero with a Red Dragon for a little as 1450 gold (600 L2 hero, 850 dragon). That 1450 represents the luckiest price point and in reality you can get a L1 + Red Dragon even cheaper (1250 gold).
For me, the most important number is 400. As long as you have that amount of gold, you are in the hero sweepstakes at a 10% chance. Less than that and you can't get a hero so I try to never go below 400 gold. If you keep waiting until you have more than 2150 in hopes of maximizing your chances at a Red Dragon ally you are going to lose a lot of games to players who buy good production while you are hoping to not only get that Dragon but get him close to the front lines.
