Chameleon seems to work well for every OSx86 install I've had so, that's my obvious choice.

Lenovo D20 8 Core Thinkstation:
[Intel 5520 Motherboard | Two Intel Xeon E5504 @ 2GHz | 4GB DDR3 RAM | Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (running in full LP64!) | nVidia Quadro FX 580 Dual HDMI + DVI 512 MB| DVD +RW DL]

iBook G4:

[14" Mid 2005 | 1 GB RAM | 80 GB HDD | SuperDrive | Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.5]

I use BuildSmart's bootloader. It is part of his "Ultimate" OSx86 system that provides a perfect OS X experience on select Intel motherboards such as Bad Axe 1/2 and SkullTrail:

I am using PC_Efi v9 on my Asus netbook and the unmodified Darwin Bootloader on my Desktop computer...

I'd consider PC_Efi v9 to be just the functional side of Chameleon Bootloader and so I like it.
