After the debacle that was my complaint thread about logitech's driver software, (and I stick to my guns btw 
) I'm curious about others' mouse bindings. The only apps where I heavily use the mouse are illustrator and firefox.
Here are my SteerMouse bindings for firefox on my MX revolution (I haven't set up illustrator yet). I actually use every single button on the MX revolution for something constructive (i.e., I actually find myself saving time by using these buttons, and nothing goes unused. I really, really do like the MX revolution as a hardware unit).
Right button - Contextual menu (most apps have this as ctrl-click)
Middle button (scroll wheel depressed): shft-cmd-click, which opens a link in a new tab and takes me there.
Scroll with wheel - Accelerate scroll up/down
Scroll with wheel depressed - cmd-+ and cmd--. These change the base text display size in firefox. Since I have a 30 incher, which has a high DPI (dots per inch), and thus at its highest resolution, high PPI (pixels per inch), text on many websites is uncomfortably small to read. I would guess I increase the base font size on half the sites I read or more.
Button 4 (thumb "back button"): cmd-[, firefox for "back"
Button 5 (thumb "forward button"): cmd-], firefox for "forward"
Button 6 ("search button"): cmd-click, which opens a link in a new tab, and keeps me on the current page.
Button 7 ("wheel tilt left"): ctrl-shft-tab, which navigates to the previous tab in firefox
Button 8 ("tilt right): ctrl-tab, goes to next tab
Button 9 ("thumb-button-foward"): expose all
Button 11("thumb down"): expose app
Button 13 ("thumb depress"): show desktop
Please share your setup, with whatever mouse you use, inquiring minds want to know

edit: moved cmd click to search, changed shft-cmd-click to wheel depress
