I just started with a DM who uses a stat-gen method I've never seen before but I think I like it. It's standard 27-point buy, but you can move your racial bonuses to different stats if you want. You still have to keep the bonuses the same size and can't stack them on the same stat, so you could have a Wood Elf with +2 Str and +1 Con, but you can't have a Hill Dwarf with +3 Dex, that sort of thing. It offers the balance of point-buy while allowing enough flexibility that people can pretty much choose any race/class combo and not feel hampered(and I say this as someone who likes the idea of each race having traits that lend them more towards some classes than others).
