Creature Collection I & II tie for first.
I have been saving The Monsternomicon for my next Campaign, otherwise it would have seen a lot of use.
Interestingly enough, I have already used ToH2 more than the first one.
Other recent monster resources I have used include CC3, Creature Catalog, FFG's Necromantic Lore, stat blocks from Dragon Magazine, and Chaositech & The Monster Handbook for customization.

Monsternomicon followed by Tome of Horrors. And just a wee bit of Fiend Folio (swarms mostly).
The Auld Grump, the Monsternomicon is awesome, now if only Privateer Press would come out with the campaign books already...

Okay, for fantasy gaming (by percentage of use):
My Own Creations (35%)
Monster Manual (30%)
Denizens of Dread (5%)
Oriental Adventures (3%)
Jade dragons & Hungry Ghosts (2%)
Creature Collection I (2%)
Creature Collection II (1%)
Monsters of Faerun (1%)
Fiend Folo (9%)
Monster Manual II (9%)
Epic Level Handbook (2%)
Legacy of Dragons (1%....but closer to 80% for my AU campaign)
I have to say, I like the WOTC productions best, but Jade Dragons & Hungry Ghosts is a great eastern monster book, and I am an old Ravenloft fan, so Denizens of Dread/Darkness gets plenty of useage, both inside and out of Ravenloft. I still use my own creations as often as published ones, and often revamp and file off the serial numbers of established creations to throw veterans of the scent. Finally, I don't tend to favor additional demon books, simply because there seem to be too many of them, and I find that the books I have now have pleny of fiends already in them. That said, I htink Anger of Angels has good potential, even though I haven't used it yet.
