I do: Track#-Artist-Title, all lowercased, underscored.

There a particular reason you go all lowercase and no spaces?

That's just how I name most of my files-lowercased and underscored-whatever it is.
 
At the moment:

Artist/Album/Artist - Song Name.ext

I'm eventually going to migrate to:

artist/album/artist-song_name.ext

I'm leaning in this direction and then having a directory for each artist, instead of directory for each artist, plus subdirectories for each album. This is mainly for at-a-glance selection.

Tags are already set.
 
I'm anal.

my EAC options: %A - %Y - %C\%A - %C - %N - %T

or: artist - year - album\artist - album - track number - track name

this way, folders are setup to be organized alpha by artist and then chronological within artist. getting this to work well requires some vigilence on the artist name and date fields prior to ripping - dylan, bob instead of bob dylan, and rolling stones, the, instead of the rolling stones...etc. Also the freedb database isn't consistant on dates - especially with remastered editions. so I try to have the date field be the date of original album release, and then add (2004 rem) to the title field if it's a remastered or otherwise special edition. also I capitalize the first letter of every word except of, a, an, etc.
 
[artist]\[album]\ - folder

[[album]] [track number xx] - [track] ([artist]) - file, example: [The Fat of the Land] 02 - Breathe (Prodigy).flac

I like having all the information I might want in the file name so I don't have to go look at the tag or open up a media player if I can help it. And I've done it this way to make it possible to sort the files outside of a media player, making it easier to find files I might want should I need them for whatever reason.

Scene styled naming I assume. That's how older scene groups had to name their rips to store them on unix systems. I actually do the same. It looks attractive to me. I just ripped my flac album (Tool - 10,000 days) like that too.
 
I would prefer:
Genre/Artist/Album/track title

I the case of compilations, movies, anime, etc:
Genre/Album/track title

But I haven't found any music program that will let me create some sort of filters that'll automatically organize my folder structure based on certain criteria in the ID3 tag.

WMP does this:
Artist/Album/track title...or in the case of movies...Original Soundtrack/Album/track title

iTunes does something like this (IIRC)
Artist/Album/track title...or in the case of compilations....Compilation/Album/track title

...similar, but not really what I want...oh well.
