I think it's very much a personal preference, but I've bought a slew of
three different buckets this year.

In the US, the 4105 red 500 piece bucket is available at most Walmarts,
KMarts, Targets and TRUs for $9.99. I like it for the 2 cents / piece price
point, and for the green, brown, light gray, tan and black, all colors I can
use more of. It's currently available for $7.50 during the TRU BOGO sale.

The 7831 small red 200 piece bucket was clearanced at at least Walmart for
$3. It is one of the few sets that has had inverse 45 1x2 slopes in green.
It also has a fair selection of orange. That enticed me to pick up a fairly
large number, but I would pass at the normal retail price.

I've also gotten quite a few of the TRU exclusive 600 piece blue buckets,
retailing for $15 and but currently available during the BOGO for $11.25. If
you want purple bricks, they're the only game in town. (It also contains a
fair selection of orange.)

I haven't bought any of the 4107 blue tubs, because I already have enough
1x1 bricks, although many others find this to be a very good buy.

Most if not all of the are inventoried at www.peeron.com, so you can compare
in more detail there.

LEGO has some relatively new bulk tubs and buckets, at reasonably good price points, though not as good as the much-missed 3033. But since they're all available at different retailers, and they have rather subtle differences between them in some (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.general)
