Usually medium. Rarely will replay on higher levels, one exception was Gears of War as me and my buddy ran through casual and hardcore in Coop.
PC FPS games I tend to play on easy as I suck at the keyboard mouse controls. I hardly play them anyway as I don't like gaming on a computer much, but one of my friends lent me a stack of games he recommended I check out so I've worked through a few of them.

I'm like McHakson, depends on the game but mostly medium to easy and work up.

First time through any game I usually play it on the lowest setting to get a feel for it. After that, if I enjoyed it or there are unlockables or what not, I may go back and try the other settings.

Depends on the game. If I've read that playing through on the hardest setting will unlock all the Achievements below it, I give that a go. If not, I'll go for the default setting and get a feel for the game before moving up.
Halo and Halo 2 being the exception, I started and finished on Heroic.

Most games are designed around the default difficulty, so that's what I tend to go with.
I do like it when games let you change difficulty "on the fly", like Halo. That way you can adjust to your own needs without having to start over from the top.

I chose 'Easy' simply because I don't have a lot of time to game and I want to make the most of my time.

Whatever gives the most gamerpoints?
I'll usually go through on Normal on my first run-through, and then crank it up to hard/expert, whatever the second time through. That is, unless I'm tearing through Normal, then I'll just crank it up right away.
