I've recently just finished a project using YUI-CSS version 2.8 (or whatever the last pre-version 3 is). It still works very well. I've used blueprintcss too. I found that full page width layouts were practically impossible to do, and was also frustrated by the fiddling involved with page width changes etc. Personally I would just use YUI 2 and wait for YUI 3 to get a grids engine...
