Inbuild reflective most of the time. Spot when the lightning is tricky and I really want it right. More and more often no meter when the lightning is easy, even if the meter is built in.
I miss incident metering mostly at low light when the light level is not enough for spot. Incident metering often works at lower light. I'm currently considering a spot/incident combinate because of that (and a caple more features I miss on my current spot).

Incident metering with exposure correction as necessary from my sekonic meter with my Leica or spot metering for anything shot with my SLR's.
I assumed when I first saw this thread it was about AP or Manual etc....I'm fully manual most of the time but love AP when I'm working quickly with my SLR's and AF...I'm such a sucker for whizzy bangy bits but love my Leica for its simplicity

With the M5, I consider it as somewhat spotmetering, otherwise I mostly use indecent with the Variosix for colour slides and the Pentax Spot Meter, a very fine instrument, for B&W neg..

Sekonic -558 1 degree spot meter. If I don't have time to meter, I'll use AE lock on my Mamiya 7. It is very accurate, provided you know what to meter off of and how to compensate.

Here's a link to the one I use.

When you see it, you'll think I'm a wise guy, but I took this chart, condensed it to the stuff I needed, printed it about two inches square in an Exel spreadsheet, cut it out, and laminated it. I regularly shoot Kodachrome 200 with it without any problems (after a little practice of course). I haven't carried my meter in over a year.
