How good is KQ?

For instance, we all know that JJ is a top tier hand, but in real play, once that flop comes out - ugh. Many times you find yourself behind against somene that that had the balls to call your PFR with KT.

So how good is KQ, both suited and unsuited when it comes down to the hand playing out? Is it worth a PFR or calling 3-4xBB raise with to see the flop?

Depends on the situation, give us a couple of specific situations maybe?
