Direct applications through LinkedIN (rather than "Apply on Website") or direct emails to the HR/hiring manager has gotten me the most "action" as it were.
When it comes to online, LinkedIn is flat out the best simply because my profile alone attracts recruiters/managers to contact me. I have never applied to a posted job on LinkedIn. I would get InMails or a message inquiring if I was looking to switch companies, etc. I wasn't looking for a job and politely let them know, but always offered to stay connected for a time when I may be looking for a job. They never turned that down and I even communicate with some from time to time to keep that bridge open - just in case. I will add that I think LinkedIn is probably a better site for industry professionals or professionals with experience and transferable skills who may be looking to switch careers.
Careerbuilder is better than Monster in terms of response and jobs.
I had to take my resume down from Indeed because I was getting all kinds of inquiries for positions that I wasn't even looking for. I do like searching Indeed since it pulls from so many job boards.
When I was in telecom and IT, Dice was THE job board to find jobs in those industries. Not sure if it is still as focused as it once was.
If you are really serious, a 3 month subscription to theladders.com can really open some doors. I suspect that since it caters to the $100k on up group, that employers use it when they are more serious since applicants must pay to get the job access. That subscription price weeds out the $10hr crowd from even applying.

It doesn't. From everyone I know who joined the careers listed aren't anything different from other sites.
Indeed has gotten me the most call backs of anything I've used.
