Using my (pre-adjustment) piece value table, under early middlegame, the value ranges given are as follows:
Pawn -2.5/4/6 (Tokin 9/9.5/10)
Go-between 8/8.5/10
Bronze 6/8/9
Silver 8.5/10.5/11
Leopard 9.5/10.5/11
Lance 14.5/16 (White Horse 25/26/27)
Kirin 18/19/20
Bishop 24/26/29
Then I adjust the values using things I know about the position, which can easily swing them a further 20% for ranged pieces, 40% for small pieces, and 200% for individual pawns.
I wrote the table to suit my personal style, at the behest of one Andrej Trauner, so it may not be applicable to others. I believe it a safe assumption that my table is the most thorough estimate of chu shogi piece values in existence, especially when combined with the list of adjustments, which only exists in my head.
I don't put too much weight on material advantage when playing. It only accounts for roughly 35% of my evaluation, compared to about 60% for purely positional considerations.
