We used to use CruiseControl.NET until we broke it.

We replaced it with a homegrown Python distributed build system. :-) (So 
none of the above...)

At one point our continuous integration was a 130 line Python script (an 
SVN post commit hook would touch a file the Python script was watching 
to alert it that a new checkin had been made. After a while we just ran 
tests in a continuous loop anyway not waiting for a new checkin - just 
always doing a fresh checkout of head every loop. Then we added the 
ability to distribute tests across multiple machines with a central web 
app to display the status of runs and control them; so uhm... it's grown 
a bit since the start).
