Gorilla Glue....expensive, but a GREAT bond and pretty easy to cleanup in my experience!

If you use gorilla glue, make sure you don't use too much.  the stuff expands and leaks out of cracks like nothing else.  I actually had a lot of trouble cleaning it off where it leaked out. 

with all respect to electricd, i would recommend against gorilla glue unless you need a ridiculous amount of strength, and you need something to expand in a gap. 

edit: fixed butchery of electricd's name

Titebond III is slowly replacing all the stuff I used to use Gorilla glue for. It's just so much easier to clean up, and I don't get a case of "Gorilla hands" when I get it all over myself.

Titebond III cleans up with water, but it's supposed to be waterproof once dry. It also has the highest bond strength and the longest open assembly time (10min) of the 3 variations of their woodworking glue, so all those things combined usually make me grab that bottle.

StormGiant:
I use Titebond III now for all my woodworking projects, and it's what I used for my cab.  I was a dedicated Gorilla Glue user, but it is more of a hassle to use, and in my experience the shelf life isn't great.

jmelan:
Another vote for Titebond III.  I used it on my cabinet and all of my recent woodworking projects.
