"The ones my client's visitors/employees use"

No really, that's not a cop-out, it's a serious answer. Clients have logs
for their existing Web site, and, for extranets, know what their employees
have on their desktop. We code for those browsers. Looking at stats can be
deceiving, because they tell you about the whole internet, not the specific
people who will be visiting your client's site. For instance, we had a
client last year 15% of whose visitors were using Netscape 3 (this was an
educational services vendor). So of course we tested with NS 3. Of course,
we may determine that certain applications will have certain target
browsers, because of client needs (management tools, for instance, often
require PC IE 5, simply to make them convenient to code - assuming the
client has access to that browser, of course)

Here's our set-up:
PC IE 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6
Mac IE 4, 4.5, 5, 5.1.5
PC & Mac NS 4.75, 6.2
PC & Mac Opera 5

Versions of NS 4 before 4.75 are awfully buggy and use really the same
rendering engine, so upgrade to those. NS 6.2 is awfully slow as well, we're
planning an upgrade to 7 soon.
