I've always floated between Labour and Lib Dem. The problem with my General Election area is that it really is just a straight shoot out between Labour and the Tories with 3rd nowhere, so voting Lib Dem is usually not a great vote. Notice that I didn't say 'waste of a vote', because I don't think anyone who votes wastes it. In Local Elections I tend to vote for the person, which is where I float to Lib Dem. I think on local elections it's really important that a councillor lives in the ward they want to represent to be honest. I think they're more likely to give a shit if issues actually effect where they live. I don't live in the greatest area in the world to be honest (although certainly not the worst) but I'm always pissed off that every candidate that the Tories put forward for my area always live in kind of neighbouring affluent area. How can they realistically represent me?
