It should be filed before the end of the 5th year to ensure that you will be eligible for 7th + extensions in H-1B status.

The best time is before the end of the 5th year so that you may be able to obtain H-1B extensions in one or three year increments. However, please note that the sooner you can apply the better off you will be. Consider whether or not you have the possibility of being able to use a pre-certified classification for the green card.
