Sage of the Scarred Lands
Like I'd turn my back on the Scarred Lands just now? 
Sure there might be better settings. Sure their might be ones that people enjoy more. But like some of my fellows SL fans have said, give me land, give me the Gods, give me Titans, give this land that is Scarred!

But like some of my fellows SL fans have said, give me land, give me the Gods, give me Titans, give this land that is Scarred! Oathbound and Planescape. They are similiar in being so far out there that no other setting can compare.
(Of course, as a matter of full disclosure, I have an interest in seeing them both become wildly popular. Even so, I'm only involved in them because I think they are so great!!)

I voted for SL.
However, my real opinion is simply that it doesn't matter. What's the difference? Any good DM worth her/his salt is going to turn a published setting into some kind of homebrew anyway. Whether they just use the maps, the maps and locations, or the whole shebang, it seems like no single published setting, used twice, is the same. In other words, it depends on the DM.
YMMV.

Of the four listed, I chose Greyhawk, although Kalamar is an official D&D setting that you neglected to list. Not to mention the dearth of D20 fantasy worlds out there that seem to be pretty popular (DragonStar comes to mind).
I play in the Scarred Lands and Greyhawk settings, plus two homebrews, and I have to say that so far I prefer homebrews, but I am warming to Greyhawk.

Of "currently published for 3e/d20", it's scarred lands for me.
Of all published settings for D&D ever, and/or soon to be republished settings (if Ashy doesn't keep strining us along) Planescape.
Of course, it wasn't that long since we had this poll last (indcidentally, Planescape won that poll, despite the best efforts by the Kalamar boards to rally together and show us how great it is.)
