I use either "Never Let Me Go", "Radiator", "Viva la Vida", "Benny Hill Theme Song" or the default of Marimba.
 
General ringtone: Public Enemy, "Fight the Power"
Friends: Chainsaw Kittens, "Calling from Space" or Chomsky (the band, not the writer), "00:15:00"
Best friend: R.E.M., "Can't Get There From Here"
Family: Love Button, "God is Dead"
Co-Workers: R.E.M., "Radio Free Europe"
 
for my main ringtone (which is pretty much everyone right now), I made a nice clip of the beginning of Johannesburg by Gil Scott-Heron.

On my previous phone (SE 810i), I used a really excellent theremin mp3; I think it'd be too quiet on my first-gen iPhone.
 
My default is Haunted by Gary Numan, but I have about 12 others I use including:

Code Monkey - Jonathan Coulton
Crimewave - Crystal Castles
Down With the Sickness - Disturbed
Escargot - Industrial Platypus
**** it - Revolucian
The Fragile (Still) - Nine Inch Nails
Jizz in my Pants - The Lonely Island
Retrace a Walk - Zs
Something I Can Never Have (Still) - Nine Inch Nails
Superman's dead - Our Lady Peace
"Get the **** up, this [call] is real" - An edit I did for my own ringtone
and Unngh.
 
I have two different ones for different groups:

Digital (on the iPhone already) for one group
Şıkıdım (Tarkan) for the other

Thinking I might change the first one but haven't got round to it yet.
 
My ringtone is the one from the movie "Crank" and sounds like a dying cellphone. People look around and say what the h*** is that.

- James

I'm starting to use Garageband '09 to make my own custom ringtones.

It's unreal some of the loops they include in the program. You can combine so many sounds and instruments that regular mp3 tones are now starting to sound boring to me.

If you have Garageband, you gotta give it a try.
 
My previous ringtone was the GTA 4 theme. Right now I'm using the "Alert" ringtone that came with the phone. I'll probably make some more later today.
 
Supermassive Black Hole by muse. It is one to many that I made manually, before hearing about sites lie audiko.net
