Thanks everyone. I think I got the info I was looking for. My sense from the replies is that the OSM z/x/y scheme is the overall winner in terms of number of tiles served. It's used by Mapbox, OSM, and MapQuest. Yahoo has switched to Noki and they use the same z/x/y but add in a pixel size for the returned square: z/x/y/p
Also, strongly in the OSM z/x/y court is Github with Mapbox maps underneath. Is it correct to call it "OSM z/x/y" or is there some more official name for it?

I.e. what's the overall level of popularity? And, bonus: are there any other tiling schemes out there? If you reply to me offlist, I can summarize the responses. If you want your response anonymized in the summary, be sure to let me know! Thanks, Allan
