Probably as late as possible.
There's 40 levels worth of boosts, right? Then I'd only use them once everyone is 160, to make them reach 200 (and get the achievement iirc).

The higher the level, the more experience points are required for the next level and the longer you have to farm. The level boost gives you a fixed number of levels, no matter how many experience points are required. So as late as possible, ideally at level 160 to get the maximum amount of time saved. @darth.crevette is absolutely right.

According to a few people on the internet, you have to do the last level (199-200) yourself to unlock the achievement. One character is enough for that. So you should give the DLC boosts at level 159 to the characters.

If you're playing for the first time, you probably aren't going to hit level 200 unless you spend a LOT of time grinding levels. I did every boss, every sidequest, both bonus dungeons, full monster book, all skills, etc and only hit around level 125 after 150 hours of play time. So you might just want to use the level ups whenever you get stuck in the story (wolf boss after getting Rita, final boss of Act 2, final boss of game, before bonus dungeons are all places people get stuck).

On New Game Plus you can get a modifier for 10x XP which makes it a lot more sensible to go for level 200 then. But the advice to use them as late as possible is totally correct, too.
