if xhtml and css make you horny go for strict, otherwise go for transitional - is restrictive enough to make your life fucked up...

Transitional is restrictive enough. Strict was meant for css nazis only and xhtml is unlikely to be the future anyway, html 5 is coming instead.

I agree with rafalski - I'd go with Transitional as it's generally supported by more browsers and gives you slightly more breathing room.

i think the main difference, practically in weblayout, is the different way browsers render the css-box-modell, depending on the DTD in the code...i prefer transitional, but i also know some 'strict'-lovers.
transitional allows for more 'wild'-code, so it's easier.
'future proof' means future in 100+ years anyway, when some code-archeologists are trying to render some early 21st century webpages..if they are DTD strict, they will know for sure how the coder/designer meant it to look.

I would use transitional, but strict is not that bad if you validate it and have time to fix everything.
