We've had several discussions on this topic over the past year or so. I've seen some going in the past week.
I currently have 170mm on three bikes, 165 on a fourth, and 155 on my recumbent.
I think my favorite lengths are 165 on an upright bike and 155-160 on bents, but am not certain yet.
Here's a crank arm length calculator. It tends to yield results that seem too short for most people.
