With the vast amount of profile as nodes implementations, how do you set up your own profiles on your sites?
What I am really looking for are what modules are deprecated and rarely used to the more flexible and complete user profile solution.
Does anyone who is serious about creating complex and dynamic profile(s) ever use profile.module and if so, why?
Do you use any custom coding, and if yes then for what?
I am really looking forward to creating a profile solution for one of my sites and I want to maintain a clean back end and flexibility.
So here is a good time to show off your profiles and tell people how you made them?

On Greenopolis.com, we use
On Greenopolis.com, we use nodeprofile. Our requirements were to have different profiles for different roles, views integration, and the maximum amount of flexibility. Nodeprofile, in combination with usernode, had everything we were looking for.
What does usernode offer
What does usernode offer that isn't already in Nodeprofile?
The only reason why I used
The only reason why I used both is because the profiles are not required, and I needed to have all users exposed to views. Usernode creates a node for every user regardless of whether they create a profile or not, so I'm not limited in functionality with views.
