I read a guide somewhere on these forums (that I can't seem to find right now) that said that 4 sentries + zealots and a few stalkers is what you need to defend the MM early pressure.
That sentry number has been perfect for me so far and I haven't lost a game to early MM pressure since I started using that sentry number.
I think ~6 sentries is ideal if you can get away with it. 3gate expand is best done with 1 zealot + 5sentry + stalker or 6sentry, then make stalkers. Generally early game if you're sentry heavy you want to have either zealot sentry or stalker sentry but not both, because you ff differently with zealot sentry than with stalker sentry.
