A helpful tip that was passed on to me for judging when to eject: the coach wants to leave whenever he uses one of the three P's: personal ("you suck", or anything bad about you personally, as opposed to the call), profane, or prolonged.
With arguing, whining, weaseling, and chirping, I generally give a warning (like "that's enough, let's play ball"), and after that, it's prolonged. The other P's are pretty easy to spot. Any ejection on these grounds is pretty easy to defend to assignors, committees, TD's, and the like.
