Results as of 10/21/09
Here are the stats on cube usage. Only the more popular puzzles were included. Please note that I took the model names from what people wrote, so there are likely redundancies in the list. (Ex. Old Type A, Type A II, and Old Type A II could be referring to the same model.) You're welcome to make edit suggestions. Also, I gave half points if two cubes were listed in a category, if someone expressed not liking their cube, or to a cube someone is planning on getting but doesn't currently own. Is this statistically sound? Who knows, but it sounded good at the time.
