In those instances, I've tried going with 28 balloons. Usually, I can get a decent portion of the loot, but it really does require a few more balloons than that (I've gone to 32 balloons and the rest minions). And of course, you'll need the spells.
So in my opinion, like in most things in life, the answer is: "it depends".
