Is there some ideal relationship between bump and rebound travel for high performance street car use?

I've heard it said that bump travel should be no less than twice the rebound travel...
 
Possibly, on one axle, in a particular car, or if you are severely package limited. As a general presciption, no.

In general it is nice to be able to design the rebound stops to do what you want them to do rather than merely bringing the wheel to a halt.
