Tables are not evil, just using them for layouts are! :-) While tongue in cheek that statement was meant to point out that some people take the "no tables" argument too far and try to not use them, even for what they are meant to be used for, tabular data.
But, they should not be used for layout. Now as to answer your question, what do you use for layout? There are a lot of options depending on what you are trying to achieve. And this will quickly lead into the "semantic" VS "non-semantic" markup debate. I would suggest you start out with div tags and see where that leads you. I would also suggest you do NOT design against an IE browser, even if that is going to be your primary browser. It has been my experience that it is much easier to get my design figured out in something more compliant such as Fire fox and then fix the problems in IE then vice a versa.
