As a first time grafter, for each plant I want to set out, how many root stock and scion seeds should I start?

This is what I'm grappling with right now.

With non-grafted plants, I was down to two starting two seeds for every plant and almost always had two seedlings to choose from at plant out time.

I have plenty of scion seeds and a good number of rootstock seeds, I just don't want to have a ton of extra seedlings that have to get tossed in the compost bin. But then everyone says to expect a higher failure rate with first-time grafts.
