Depends on the drummer, style of music, and whatever mood I'm in that day. But I like to try new overhead setups all the time. Some of the setups I use a lot are:

ORTF
X-Y
spaced pair
"Glyn Johns" technique
mono overhead
over the shoulder mono mic
Blumlien (excellent with my Coles)
I've done an M-S setup before but not for a long time.
