What seed times do you use when registering for Master's meets?
A) your best time in a master's meet
B) Your most recent time
C) What you think you will swim for this particular meet
D) other
I have been going with 'C', but am curious what other folks do...

That is because you are a great swimmer, don't you always swim faster every time you swim.
I agree with Kurt (and Chowmi).
I also think it is somewhat inaccurate to say people are at meets to "race." True, but many people are just swimming against themselves and trying to improve on their own times. Often, they don't care what other swimmers are doing, particularly if they're not in their age group. And, George, it is perfectly possible to swim fast with an NT. At my meet last weekend, the meet director lost my 50 fly entry (I was seeded at the exact time I did at the beginning of the season last year), and I had to swim in an NT heat. Not my choice, but it's not the end of the world.
