One could argue I don't use either of those. I use a (probably common) variant of the first algorithm you posted. All I do is double layer turns for R and L instead of the inner layer turns. I'm not sure which alg is yours, but I know Chris Hardwick has his alg up on his speedcubing corner page, and that's where I learned both the top one and the variant that I use. He mentioned the variant as a "more speedcubing friendly version" of the same thing.
 
I used to use the first, and now I'm changing to the second.

Off-topic, can you mods consider about adding a search function on the homepage please?

The first one, except doing wide turns instead of inner layers.
Did you people click on the link? :rolleyes:
Point taken though, I'll edit the poll to switch to WCA notation.

How about the one labeled "lucasparity"? ;)

There was a thread about this, in fact. Can't find it right now. :(

Apparently this is the 'Hungarian alg' :P

I think my best with it is around 2.6-2.7, it's definitely a nice alg (Breandan said that he uses this, or your alg, depending on hand position).

I use the fast pure form of cmowlaparity for speedsolving, but before that, I used the first one. I stuck with the first one because it has been one that I memorized very well since I drew this diagram to help me. I appreciate waffle's algorithm and lucasparity, as they are called, though.
