Blueprint. You can clean up all the extraneous "span-x" classes with the semantic_classes property in the generator if you're worried about semantic class naming.

It does trend towards div-itis, but I find that most complex layouts do over the long run anyway.

Looking forward to using CSS3 layouts in about 5-7 years... sigh.

I've been trying to reduce the number of divs by attaching the span-x classes onto other block level elements like <ul> whenever possible. But layouts seem to work better with more divs.

That can work if you remember to add the right margin onto the block level element as well... by default I believe Blueprint only adds it to divs.

I modified the css in the screen.css file to fix this. It seems to work ok until it's time to upgrade.
