Personally, I would not want to build a machine where the motor is pushed to max duty every time I used it.  Would you redline your car between every gear on every trip to the grocery store? Give it a little headroom and step up to the next bigger motor if you can.  Now I'm no hydraulic expert, I have just always operated on the premise that if I need X, use a piece of equipment that is capable of X +10%. I can't stand tools that just barely meet the minimum requirement to do the job.
