do you prefer rolling characters or using a point system. i like point system as it allows players to create character they have in mind. it also balances players in tha same group.

None of the above...
I don't like the point system proposed in the 3e rules much. Its a little to limited for my tastes.
For the most part it depends on the player. I let the veterans simply make a PC and then we tweek the things that aren't exactly 'balanced'. Very rarely do my players create outlandish charachters so this has worked fine. Though if the players are rookies I generally have them roll (4d6 keep the high three; roll six times and arrange the stats however you want).Servant of the Most High,

I usually have the players use the system that Lawgiver describes except when I am introducing a character into an already established group where they are going to be a higher level. Then sometimes I adjust to bring more balance to the campaign but they will still start out by using the same startup system.

I have always preferrred to use the 4 D 6 method but instead of rolling 6 we roll 7 and drop the lowest.

I'm a fond believer in the roll 4 keep 3 method. With, of course, the reservation that I get to modify certain rolls to keep balance among players.

In my gaming group we roll 4d6 (keeping 3 out of 4) 7 times, then drop the lowest.
As for bloodlines... random generation combined with decent background (there must be some reason for that major bloodline!!) solves the issue quite well.

I would have to agree that rerolling 1s and 2s is for power gamers and I am not really interested in that type of gaming!

None of the above.
Let each player choose: Do I take the safe path and go with points or do I chance it with the dice...Do you feel lucky punk, do ya?
