For me it depends on the moc. Cliffs are pretty easy using BURPs and LURPs.
See the current BUB thread for pics of a cliff.

When I have raised a moc I almost never fill in completely underneath. I also
don't worry about color unless it is visible in the finished product, so I use
the old junky bricks that aren't good for much else. But I haven't raised that
many mocs very high.

Duplo does fit well with the standard brick and I have seen stuff built using
it. If you already have a bunch of Duplo (your kids room or something) go for
it, but it is expensive to get just for landscaping.

I have also just built up the ground using the big, thick green bases. But this
result in more of a ground texture rather than actual height.
