Like The Mad Hatter, I favour the pipe.

s|{.*?}|{$sub[$n++]}|g;

It has good visibility, is simple, yaddax3. I toyed around with using #, and it works well as a visual cue, because it registers as 'dark' among visually 'lighter' characters. But accidental obfuscation, as well as inadequate editor syntax hilighting, made me drop that.

I'm not especially fond of ,.`"', because I like for the whole height of the line to be covered. Makes the character look more like a delimiter. Paired delimiters such as []{}()<> do that, but I can't get used to them. They make a lot of sense, and can make certain regexps nice and tidy... but even on multiline things I like my pipe:

s| {.*?} | {$sub[$n++]} |gx;
