well it's a matter of taste and what your going for. There is no right way to eq hi hats. You can filter out some of the lows to thin them and make them sound almost higher pitched or you can cut from the top to make them sound thicker and not so ear piercing.
It just depends on how you want them to fit in the track. If you have a lot of things in a certain frequency range Id say try and thin that area on your hats but then again if you like how your hats sound you could thin those frequencies on the other instruments.
Just go wiht what sounds right in the mix.

just on the other side of the coin, i don't like too much compression on the hats, it can really take away from the movement in the track, but it depends on how you use your hats or what you use them for i suppose.
what works for one person does for another.
to op, i'd say get a spectrum analyser so you can see the frequencies of the various parts and how they sit together in the mix. use that as a rough guide for a while and soon you'll get used to mixing and you wont need the analyser.
