I usually do the same as Dennis - usually P mode and sometimes M when I want to do things with the exposure. Also sometimes AP and SP when I want specific shutter speeds or apertures but aren't too worried about the other.
I also find the P mode with the on/off/whatever-it-is switch flicked to whatever-it-is is also useful as then I can easily change the shutter or aperture to what I want and not worry about the metering.
