What aspect ratio is everybody using?

Here is what I've observed on YouTube.

A bit of math first:

16:9 has a ratio of 1.7777777777777
4:3 has a ratio of 1.3333333333333

I've been noticing a ratio of around 1.59999999 with major networks.

Question is:

What is the favored ratio that one should be implementing NOW to fit with future standards?

Or is it a matter of preference only?

Thank You,

16:9 is standard.

I produce 4:3 material in 16:9 (black bars either side) so when played back on 16:9 it is displayed correctly.

For me 4:3 material is edited in 16:9 and produced (rendered) in 16:9
