Is it better for your credit to have several credit cards with moderate limit, or one card with a high limit?

I have zero debt. I also have several credit cards. I am wondering how it will affect my credit to request the highest limit for each card, or if I should cancel all but 2 and have those with high spending limits. Along the same lines, how does "available" credit affect one’s credit score negatively or positively? If I get a ,000 limit on a card (with 0 balance) but say, go to buy a car, will I be denied because I have too much credit out there?

What is a good credit limit for a first credit card?

I got my first credit card a couple years ago via Bank of America, and my current credit limit is 00. Since I don’t have any experience with credit cards in the past, I’m wondering if this is good or not? Is there anyway I can increase this limit? What do most credit card limits start at?
