In short: it depends on what you want. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/index.html

Yup, horses for courses.

The one I use most by far, though, maybe 90% of the time, is BorderLayout. About 90% of the remaining times I use one of my handful of custom layouts, which are generally just more useful variations of other layouts (eg one like BorderLayout which allows multiple components in each region, and one which stacks components vertically).

In general, though, I only ever use fairly simple layouts. Very rarely I'll use TableLayout (a third party layout manager); never GridBagLayout. Never found much if any need for GridLayout or SpringLayout either.
