I can't stand not having mine on the bottom. If its on the side it just somehow is a lot less convenient.
 
Left at home on my 20" iMac and my Dell Mini 9
Bottom at work on my 20" iMac, only to conform to the group.
But I hardly ever touch the dock, since I use Quicksilver a lot.
 
For the longest time I had my Dock on the bottom. A few months ago I thought I'd try something different and put it on the right side instead. It took some getting used to at first but now I like having it there as it gives me that much more vertical screen space on my 13" MacBook. I've never really liked auto-hiding the Dock.
 
Bottom, no magnification, no auto hide. Pretty mundane actually. Though the 3d dock is a nice touch. :)
 
Bottom left corner, small as it can possibly go, on auto-hide. I never use it, but I couldn't kill it completely because I minimize windows and use Exposé.

Google Quick Search Box ForTheWin.
 
Bottom, auto hide. I need the real estate on my MacBook. I wish I could enable it as a widget on the dashboard using expose.
 
If i could get the 3D glass on the side, i would consider moving it, but it looks too dark on the side. I would love more vertical screen room on my 13.
 
Bottom, no magnification, never hidden, quite big and I try to keep as little icons in it as possible.
 
On the left side of the left monitor of my dual display setup (far left, like my politics!), no auto hide. I keep the default size quite small, with medium magnification.
 
Bottom all the way. Made it real small, with magnification, but not auto-hide. The hiding is more visually distracting to me than having it there all the time, and I really don't mind the loss of a small amount of workspace.
 
Right, small with magnification, no auto hide. This way it stays out of the way on my MBP screen and not my main screen (which is to the left of the MBP). If I should just be using one screen I prefer to have it to the side so I get more screen height. I don't like the 3D dock appearance much either.
 
Bottom, almost as big as possible (I have a lot stuff in it), always shown, medium magnification

I like it as big and couldn't auto-hide it, it's just so gorgeous!
