I've only run a published adventure once - and that was at the request of my little brother, who really wanted to play through part of the Temple of Elemental Evil. I steal maps (on occaison) from published adventures, but the rest is all direct from me to the players.

I mostly use published adventures in the various campaigns I have run, but with my current Snakemen campaign I'm trying my hand at being more original and writing a lot of my own stuff (as well as using a goodly chunk of pre-writtten stuff that I've adapted to fit in with the overalll storyline). In the past my own written stuff has always been very poor (I can describe anything, plot I suck at usually), but thus far things seem to going well for this campaign *touches a whole stack of wood!*

To whoever said "50/50 in the same adventure" I agree
I am always on the prowl for bits to use in adventures - I tend to take maps, NPCs, plot threads, monsters from whatever sources I can. Not to incite flames, but I find Dungeon to be a great toolbox. I said "50/50" but I too meant that 50% of each of my adventures are made up of found components while the rest is my ideas threading it all together. Recently ran an adventure that used a locale from 2E Volo's Guide to the North, a plot hook from Dungeon, an NPC from a website I found, monsters from the new Monster Manual III, maps from the 3E FR Campaign setting... I think that's the way to do it. They've given us all the toys in the world, let's play...

I voted for the first option, but it's more like 99%. Every so often there's Dungeon advenmture that fits my needs. Also, it's always worth stealing a decent map.
