Generally, ctrl-c and ctrl-v here, with various combinations of shift, ctrl, home, end and the arrow keys to select the text I want. Most of the time if I'm copying and pasting, it's in the midst of editing a document or post -- in that situation, I prefer simply not to remove my hands from the keyboard. I'm also one of those guys who tabs/shift-tabs through forms and the like, for the same reason.
However, when I'm browsing and not typing anything I have a habit of putting my feet up on the desk. Since my keyboard sits on shelf, that makes it awkward to type. If I come across something and just want to Google it quickly, I'll simply highlight it with the mouse and use the contextual menu, rather than change position.
As with most things, I find that the best answer depends on context.
