I'm selling my laptop, and I'm wondering what everyone uses to wipe computers clean of personal data before passing it on.

I normally use a Linux boot disk to boot in live CD and then I format my disk and use an utility that writes random bits on the drive. I can't remember how this utility is called but I think a quick google search will give a lot of results.
