Not that I'm the oracle, but my 40D and kit get the pleasure of the following:
- Rocket blower for surface dust, viewfinder, mirror, sensor and lens glass
- 1/2" soft bristled paint brush for general crevaces / dust that the blower won't shift (although not inside the camera body)
- Old lens cloth for LCDs and viewfinder on the camera
- A damp, lint free cloth for removing muck on the body itself

baby wipes are great at any flat surface or fabric and I really do believe that they have magic cleaning properties.
when it comes to the nooks and crannies of a camera body, a tooth brush and a little windowlene type stuff works wonders. The first time I was this was in a 2nd hand shop I worked at when I left school and that's how we cleaned everything we bought in....... yup, even the Leicas.
Obviously this is the kind of thing that should be tried entirely at ones own risk but I've used this on thousands of items and never harmed one yet. As long as you take care to just dip the very tips of the brush into the liquid and never pick up drops that could get inside, you'll end up with a camera that looks like new.
