I normally use <div>, but I voted <span>, which basically amounts to the same thing. The only other style tags I use with any regularity are <em>, <strong>, and <cite>. Of these, <strong> is the one I use most by far -- but not nearly as much as <div>. I do sometimes apply styles to other tags (<p> and <td> come to mind), but in those cases I'm not including the tag for the purpose of applying style (unless you count semantic things like paragraphitude as style, which I don't), so I don't think those count as style tags.
