Assuming you have pokemon at or near level 100, you should have some set battling patterns you use to make your pokemon gain levels easily. Don't pick Other if what you do is very close to but not exactly one of the things listed in the poll (i.e. you EV train using trainers rather than wilds).
I train mostly through facing the Pokemon League many times. I believe I had like... 150 or so finished rounds of the Elite Four in Sapphire. That's why I made an E4 EV guide tonight.
Various trainers but not much with wilds, I don't understand EV's so I don't bother
Well, first I EV train until their EVs maxed out. Then I challenge the elite 4 numerous times. If I don't feel like doing that I just battle various trainers and high level wilds.
First I EV train, then I go to the Elite 4.
Rare candies are evil.
I have people EV train for me (The people on NSider2 work for rupees :P) So when they give the Pokemon back after being fully EV trained, I battle the E4 over, and over, and over... Untill its Lv.100 :)
If I had an AR i'd just use Rare Candies. That sure would save a lot of time.

Rare candies dont take EV s into account when they level up your pokemon.

I know. I mean when they are done with EV training. It takes forever to keep on battling the E4 untill they are Lv.100. I just breed Pokemon, i'm not good at training them :P

No, I mean the bonuses in stats that you get from EV training don't happen when you use rare candies. Rare candies level you up as you would be if you never did any EV training at all :O

Are you sure? Any source I've read states that rare candies are safe to use after EVs are maxed.

Thats what I though too :-\
I train against wild pokemon and trainers. When I get far enough in the game, I start EV training.
