What focus point selection do you use the most on the 5d mark iii and why? If you use different setups for different types of shot which ones go with which type of shot for you? Here's mine so far:

Portraits: I like to use single focus point (the square with the little square inside it) so I know EXACTLY what I am focusing on.

Anything moving: I tend to use the cross shape setup where you have a centre focus point with a point above, below, to the left and to the right. It seems to give me a better hit rate.

How about you?
 
I'm with you on this.
Single focus point for Portraits, set to the centre point so I can always find it quickly, focus then re-compose
For moving subjects I tend to use the 9 point focus rather than just the cross
With AI Servo and sporting events I set the starting point as above centre so that it is more likely to be head height of my subjects.
