For partial panoramas with a big horizontal FoV, I choose between
equirectangular and cylindrical, based on the how the image looks best.
Not very scientific, but that's not my goal in those cases. Especially
with landscape shots you can play with the height of mountains without
compromising the credibility of the scene.
I also used to use it in the old days for qtvr, but that was before qt
went cubical.

Haven't used it yet, but I am notorious for wasting bandwidth.
