Surely you have to evaluate two criteria - light loss (less than 100% reflectivity) and light scattering (less than 100% perfectly flat surface). I'd imagine the second factor comes more into play at the high end range where you can buy mirrors or prisms tested to 1/15 of a wavelength of light vs those only managing 1/8 of a wavelength?
