Do you use client-side analytics? Server-side analytics? And which products do you use? Google Analytics? AWStats? Do you pay for services, or only use the free ones?

I'm trying to get a feel for what are the most used / well liked analytics products so that I can consider them for my own projects.

I use Mint (http://haveamint.com/) for most of my client work. Clients like the pretty interface and easy to read graphs. The real bonus, for me, is that it is extensible.

Piwik or google analytics. Both free. Former open source. Prefer the former :)

I respect my visitors privacy so am unwilling to use a hosted product like Google Analytics that tracks them around the internet. We're happy with Piwik for now, but we're not a traditional web startup like so much of HN.
