Container Zucchini: 30% 50% or 100% Compost?

Hello-

What percentage of compost would people recommend for zucchinis growing one plant per large container? Right now I'm using 30% quality home compost plus 70% commercial potting mix. The potting mix is quite nice looking and feeling stuff. And the compost makes it look and feel even better. But I have plenty of compost available now, so in the next plantings I could up the amount of compost. Would trying 50% or 100% compost be a good idea?

Thank you for any advice.
