Safari to surf, Firefox to develop because of Firebug. So far though, I am very unimpressed with the interface choices they made with Firefox.
Webkit nightlies have an enhanced Web Inspector that's nearly as good as Firebug.
A lot of Greasemonkey plugins are pretty useless, but GoogleAutoPager is fantastic. It makes it so that Google searches are on an infinite page, as you scroll down the plugin gets the next page of results and slots them in so you never have to click next page

Also, FF3 has Firebug. Game, set, and match.
Camino
Camino has to be one of the worst browsers I have ever used. I don't know what they are up to. In my mind, Camino should simply be Firefox with Webkit replacing the gecko engine... but it's not even on par with Firefox. One thing I hate about Mac in general is their hate for navigating solely with the keyboard. A lot of third-party apps do a good job letting you navigate using your kb only (such as cmd+1, cmd+2... to…
Who are these mysterious “they”?
In Camino, I use the keyboard to navigate, and my third mouse button opens links in new tabs, with no problems.

Command + F then start typing what you're looking for on the page. Command + G will proceed to the next instance of your search phrase on the page.
Unless I'm mistaken, Safari can't do this: There's the "logout" link on this page, I just start typing l-o-g..., and once it gets highlighted, I can hit return and it'll click the link for me. Or if I need to go to the next word, I can still hit command+G. I don't have to invoke Find either, I can just start typing.
I guess the equivalent in Safari would be to cmd+f, type your word or phrase, press escape, then press enter. A couple extra steps but it does the trick.

Safari is a resource suck? I always thought it was more efficient than FF.
It's fine on its own, but any time a site is using Flash or, heaven forbid, an applet, it would jump right to the head of the line, even with 70 or 80 tabs open in FF2.
Also, FF has extensions which although there are good alternatives on Safari, I sincerely doubt there are as many good quality ones for Safari as for FF.

For me, it is far behind Firebug. I really miss keyboard shortcuts (at least for inspecting XHRs, please) and layout HTML/CSS inspection (not just highlighting elements while browsing tree).
The main reason I stick with FF is for Firebug and the Del.icio.us plugins.
I tend to hide the bookmarks bar because the way I use it, it just takes up unnecessary screen space, but the procedure above doesn't require it.
