I try and use the same art for all lands in a deck or try and use the least amount of different arts as I can when I can't get all lands with the same art
I have 25+ of each illustration of the Zendikar full-art basic lands. In each deck I want all cards with the same name to be identical. That goes for basic lands as well. I also use only non-foils (which I originally spelled "non-fails" by accident).
The Zendikar full-art non-foils are my 2nd favourite basic lands of all. My 1st choice is Unhinged non-foil basic lands, but I don't own any of those (want 50 of each). There is a special place in my heart for basic lands from Mirage and 5th edition as well, so those probably rank 3rd and 4th.
I use Scars of Mirrodin lands, but I erase the borders so they look exactly like white- bordered cards. people get so confused when I play them
The Plains look really good, but the Forests and Islands look the worst.
A mix of Zendikar full art and assorted foils of any sort I have laying around. Not sure, but I don't think I have anything but those across all 12 EDH decks at the moment (in part due to snagging a whole pile of foil lands cheap on ebay nearly a decade ago when I got back into Magic after a hiatus).
I reach into my box-o-lands and grab one. I don't think I've ever looked at the art. It doesn't improve my gameplay in the slightest. I don't care if my decks are pretty with pretty lands.
If its a deck I really enjoy/care about, I'll go with Zendikar full-art lands. Eventually, I'd like to get unhinged full-art lands to replace them, but they're low on my priority list of things to get.

i used to use the unhinged lands but i've changed it up recently. my fav ones now are: forest, island, plains and swamp. i don't usually play red, so i don't really have a favorite
I used to really want unhinged lands because they were so different from your normal basics. Then Zen lands came out and I've been using those ever since. It's like a cheaper substitute and I like it.
Zendikar, because they are the best looking by far. Unglued islands are pretty cool too. I don't really care for the unhinged lands, there is little contrast in the image, and that makes them rather dull. I don't think I would ever go back to running non-full art lands though.
I believe that I have enough social competence to slip into a party or two, potentially wooing some attractive females that would not mind spending the evening performing the booty dance on me.
I had a decent chuck of credit to SCG a while back, so I blew it on some Euro Land red packs. I love the elegance of the old frame, no text, and no expansion symbol.
I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.

Scientifically proven to be the best basic land.

I use beta or the old lands with the tap symbol in them (Mirage, Urza's, Tempest, Ice Age). Also Ice Age snow-covered lands are cool too.
I dont use any lands with just the mana symbol in them, except as proxies.

Black border, that's my only requirement.
For 100-card formats: New frame regular-sized art lands (no specific ones) unless Snow-Covered are required, in which case I use Ice Age Snow-Covered.
For 40-card formats: Whatever the TO provides.

My favorites basic lands are:
Forest (foil)
Swamp (foil)
Mountain (foil)
Plains (foil)
Island (foil)
If I am trying to pimp my EDH deck I will use them,if not I will just use zendikar lands
Unhinged lands are the best but if I buy alots of them for $2 ea is unfun

If i had the ability, I would make every deck I had have these... which may happen since I'm not too far away from the goal.

There's another Euro forest that I adore as well: http://magiccards.info/euro/en/1.html
I only own one of these APAC Swamps, but everyone always tries to trade for it: http://magiccards.info/apac/en/10.html
When I don't use the lands above, I use Onslaught, Odyssey, or Portal I/II basics. There's some really interesting art in those sets.
Outside that I like John Avon and Mirage lands.
