I voted as 16:9 as that is what I have at home.
At work I have a dual 16:10 setup though.
4:3 on a NEC Spectraview 2180 (bargain basement, couple of stuck sub-pixels).
I'd love a widescreen monitor 1920x1200 for gaming. However I agree that even if you are an IPS snob (I am) 1920x1050 monitors can be had for much cheapness these days. LG do some very cheap screens, however some IPS screens from them aren't true 8-bit colour per channel, but fudged 6-bit+AFRC. Not really why I would buy an IPS display.
16:9 as there was far more choice in that aspect ratio when I was looking to replace my previous dual 17" 4:3 monitors
16:10
Next upgrade: 27"/30" will be a costly one
4 year old 27" Dell - 1920 x 1200 and still going strong.
16:10 for me, love having the extra vertical space for working.
Laptop has a 20.1" screen that's 16:10 at 1680X1050.
Not a big fan of 16:10 tbh.
I've got a 16:9 2048x1152 resolution Samsung, it's brilliant IMO
16 x 9, but its almost impossible to get a laptop with 16x10 now for any sort of reasonable money.
Wish 16:10 was a bit more common nowadays, they seem to be a little more pricy and less available. Anyway I have two 16:9 monitors.
16:10 is very popular, I have one and I love to see movies on it in VLC
I have my monitor set to 1440x900 (16:10), if I up the resolution any higher text onscreen, even when I wear my glasses is to small and I cant read it and headaches / eyestrain starts.
However when I am gaming I use standard 1080p (1920x1080 - 16:9)) which is the maximum my monitor will display.
Ive gone 16:9 as thats the aspect ratio I have on the PC I use most frequently, but ive got a 16:10 of the same size at my mum's. I dont really notice much difference.

16:9 right now.
I was agonizing between the two for few weeks, finally decided in favor of more mainstream 16:9 (movies, games).
I'm building all in one system (pc/tv/htpc) so couldn't compromise on screen real estate or pixel pitch. Also wanted it to be IPS panel. Having browsed through numerous threads I have shortlisted Dell U2711 and Hazro HZ27WC (glass).
