Wow, I had no idea! 4 years? Seems like I've been a part of this site forever ...... and a part of me is saying "4 years? already? wow!"
Trivia time: 25,100 posts in 4 years = 6275 posts per year = An avg of 17.19 posts per day. every. day. 
Geesh ... I really gotta get a life!

I use a combination of timer,cake tester and the delicious smell of the WASC to know when it is done. Mine are usually closer to 55 min at 325 but I tend to use the 3"pans.
I use wooden skewers, and to avoid missplacing it, I bought some magnets, some flowers and hot glue @ Michael's. The magnet, so I can put it on the side of the fridge, and the flower to make it prety, lol. But I have to say, my nose knows when the cake is ready.
Toothpick if I just have to poke it, but normally I can touch the top and know if it is done.
definitely start off with the timer, but then i used to use a wooden toothpick coupled with the touch the top and see if it springs back method. But I was using too many toothpicks so I did buy the Wilton Cake Tester - I love it. And no more used toothpicks everywhere. I put it in a plastic baggie in a drawer with my measuring spoons so it doesn't get lost.
