Use my HDTV for the most part, so HDMI. Secondary screen is a 24" TN panel, DVI in this case.
 
I voted for DVI... but the problem is that it only allows ONE vote...
My gaming PC uses TV to connect to my monitor...
but I also use component to connect to high def TVs & projectors... (for media center functions, for playing on a massive screen, etc)
and on occasion I use VGA to connect a second computer to the same monitor as my gaming PC (so I can switch between them by pressing one button... the input button on my monitor... I wish my monitor had two DVI inputs instead but it doesn't, so I use adapters)
 
Displayport FTW. Now if only I could find a 24-30inch LCD @ 120hz with a PVA or IPS panel at 16:10 aspect ratio. Holy grail?

Dual link DVI, required for me to run 120hz.

Edit: Required for your graphics card/monitor combo to drive a 120hz display. DP does this just fine too, but your card and LCD need to support it. Just clarifying for those that may misintepret and think DP can't do 120hz. It can do 2560x1600 @120hz IIRC.
 
need option in poll for multiple connection types given that a fair number of people use multi monitors
 
DVI only way to go for LCDs, VGA is a joke and causes all kinds of issues w/ LCDs, twas never meant to be used w/ LCDs in the first place.🙁
