Worn rings and cylinder walls would be the most likely cause of low compressoin, but you could lose compression through the valve seats or through the headgasket too. I'm not quite sure, but I think that anything over 180 is good, and the numbers from the highest cylinder and the lowest shouldn't differ by more that around 10%.
