Use of vibrato is intensely personal in my opinion. It is near impossible to generalize its use, except one rule (or two, depending on how you look at it): do it in loud passages, careful or do not use it in low volume passages. And of course everything in between. Choice of frequency and width of vibrato is entirely driven by context of the music. By adding vibrato, one can make music sound cheap or elegant, interesting or dull, amateurish or professional, tickle one's imagination or lay it on for everyone to trash it.
I know that the same simple vibrato makes some unsuspecting musical passages transform into memorable beautiful experience and some other into memorable trash. It would be best to consult your teacher, friends, and listening to yourself.
