I'm 5'9" and 165-168 pounds. I generally get between 550 and 700 miles per pair of shoes. I've been running in ASICS 2120s and their predecessors.
I don't have any experience with cushioned shoes, but have heard that they typically don't last as long. This is purely anecdotal, however.

300, almost to a T!
I wear Brooks trance and Brooks Cascadias. I have heard Brooks wear out pretty fast compared to other brands.

I've settled on Asics, and have been wearing the 2110s , but I tried on some 2120s a month ago and didn't really like the feel at my achilles for some reason, they just felt different and not in a good way. I get about 400 miles on the 2110s before I feel any problems cropping up. Usually manifests as shin splints when it's time to change shoes.
I had the Kayanos recommended to me at a recent shoe fitting/analysis so I might try those next.
I'm 5'9" ~146lbs

I don't have a clue.
Last year when most of my races were on the road, I chucked my road shoes every 3-4 marathons which worked out to about every 6 weeks. Most of my "training mileage" is high angle TM walking of which I put in 30-40 per week.
For trail shoes I chuck them when I can't stand to look at them anymore. That probably comes out to 150-200 miles raced in them (again, 3-4 races) and probably about an equal amount of training miles.
2008 race schedule:
June 7, Green River marathon, WA
July 4, Foot Traffic Flat Marathon, OR
July 26, White River 50M

Brooks Adrenaline 300-350
Right now I'm pushing a pair well past 450 but mostly on trails. Man, are they stinky...

Interesting. My shoes don't get stinky. I wonder why that is. And I'm not making the claim as if I were saying "My shit don't stink" but really, they don't develop a bad odor. None of them, except the rubbery Teva's. Those things get awful, I think that's because I don't wear socks with 'em.

It's the first pair that I've noticed any stank from. Might have something to do with the canal path I run on frequently. It is covered with goose shzt and when it rains it is covered with puddles of water with wet goose shzt. Hmmm...

Oh, I bet that gooseshite has something to do with it. That and dampness, although I run though puddles and wet grass all the time. Even so, I blame the geese.

I get around 300-400 out of a pair. When I was wearing New Balance I could get about 400, but with the Asics I have been wearing lately it's more like 300. I am running in my first pair of Mizunos right now and they are still holding strong near 200.
I don't automatically chuck my shoes at a certain mileage. Usually what happens is I start noticing aches in my feet, blisters I wasn't previously getting, etc. Those are usually my indicators that my mileage is getting up there on my shoes and it's time to change them.
