two fingered trackpad for me.. simple, always works (except when over google ads :mad: )..
 
If i had a laptop it would be 2 fingers but i dont so it is the arrow keys/ arrow things for me. If i need to get to the bottom/top of the page thought, it is apple + arrow.
 
The two-fingered trackpad trick works dreams for me. I like it when I'm on a webpage that's wider than the window too...
 
On my desktop (20''screen) I use the Scroll Bars on the right(sometimes buttom but not much because i have the Camino window wide) on my iBook (12'' screen) i use the arrow keys
 
Mighty Mouse for me!

And possibly a wireless one soon - bloody Apple and talking me into buying things I don't really need ;)
 
Two-fingered scrolling is amazing. I was a bit skeptical when I first got my Powerbook, but now I don't know how I ever lived without it on my old iBook!
 
I prefer using my iMac so I use my logitech mx518's scroll wheel. But sometimes, I'll use the "page up," "page down," "home," and "end" keys.

On my iBook-- two finger scrolling on the track pad.
 
Two fingered trackpad scrolling even though when I go to use another laptop I'll get really angry and frustrated because it doesn't have that particular feature.
 
Two fingered scrolling definitely.

I sometimes use Cmnd + down, but can't use Comnd + Up.

For those that are bound to ask why, Command + Up is my Quicksilver hotkey. It just felt a little bit more natural than the ctrl + space that it was set on before.
 
With the scroll wheel or two-fingered scrolling. Sometimes with the keyboard.

When forced to scroll with the scroll bar, I have "Jump to Here" enabled by default, so I can click anywhere in the scroll bar and have the pill come to me.
