I use the 5 squares per inch--seems perfect. Actually what I've been buying lately is this stuff from Office Depot/Max or one of those anonymous chainstores, booklets that have 5 squares on one side, 4 square on the other. I'm starting to work on a really large dungeon now, and want to get something much larger than 8" x 11.5" however.
Speaking of Office Depot, ever have players assume there are places like that in your campaign where they can go buy whatever magic item listed in the DMG (not to mention whatever whizbang new item mentioned in a 3rd party booklet)?

I keep a variety on hand. 1 square per inch makes great custom battlemap material. The smaller 8 squares per inch paper works great for mapping out large areas in 5' squares. The regular sized 4 or 5 squares per inch I use for smaller scale building maps and such.

I make graph paper and print it out at work. (shhhhhhh)
I like the dots per inch better then actual graph paper though... easier to see pencil lines on it.

I prefer the 4 squares to the inch - I also have the booklet with 4sq/1" on one side and 5sq/1" on the other, and don't like it - When I try to line up levels of a dungeon or floors of a building it throws me off.

I use the 2 ft by 3 ft easel pads of 1" graph paper. $10 for 50 sheets usually lasts me a year of gaming.

I prefer six lines per inch.

Where are you finding those for $10? The office supply stores nearby all sell those for about $20.

I use an A4 pad ruled in an 180mm x 280mm block with 1mm, 5mm and 10mm ruled lines. Perfect for everything!
