A perfect suicide burn with 15 TWR and you can get away with 560 dv for a Mun landing.  However if you kill your horizontal velocity at 10km and then sink down at 50 m/s  you could spend up to 1000 dv in a low twr lander.  Lots of variability.  Also a very good gravity turn and you can get away with 3250 to LKO but 1.25m parts with a low twr and lots of draggy parts and you may need upwards of 3800-4200 dv to get to LKO.  I like to plan for the worst and hope for the best.  If you bring to much dv in your lander you can always hop to the next biome and get some more science.

yes anytime you fight gravity for longer the more fuel you'll burn. Very good advice!
