NMAP Switches, -sS, -sT, etc.

["Doug Fox" <dfox168 () hotmail com>]

If I may, I like to poll the list what are your favorite switches when using 
NMAP to conduct "intensive/comprehensive" security testing.

I have been using

NMAP -vv -A -sS -O -p1-65535 -P0 -oX target.xml www.xxx.yyy.zzz.

I find I got more information using -sS than -sT and requires short time.

Any suggestions/comments are appreciated.

Thanks,

DF
