Minimum ceiling for enginr failures IFR

What minimum cloud ceiling do you set for yourself to allow for a landing in case of engine failure when flying IFR. For example some pilots will not fly if the base of the clouds is less than 400 feet. This is to give a better chance of a successful landing after descending through the clouds following an engine failure. Does your minimum ceiling vary depending on whether you are over water or terra firma?
