Local Network IPs - 10.0.0.0/8 or 192.168.0.0/16?

mike9010 asks: "After reading a few articles on the net about networking, I have come up with a question. It seems that most of them say to use 192.168.0.0/16 for a local network. Why not use 10.0.0.0/8 though? It is my understanding that it can hold a lot more IP addresses, and it is also prettier." What local network range are you using for your networks?
