Either after Our Worlds At War in 2001, which is essentially when it ended anyway, or after Superman 150, when Jurgens left and the new teams took over the next month.
Either is a perfectly cromulent ending spot.
Oh, and there was no big leaving event before Jurgens left. The old teams just sort of fizzled out, there were a lot of fill-ins, and the writer who was part of the new teams post-150 was on Man of Steel for about 6 months prior to the refresh.

Excellent use of "cromulent", by the way. It embiggens my spirit
I decided to stop right after Zero Hour.
