Everybody's got different preferences. Some people on this list 
are probably cringing from the noise when I say that my 
preference is for: 

IBM Model M 
Northgate Omnikey/101 
PCKeyboard.com Unicomp EnduraPro/104 

all of which use buckling-spring mechanisms to guarantee both 
long life and a loud click on every press. 

See, for example, http://www.dansdata.com/ibmkeyboard.htm

On the other hand, I also like the Happy Hacking keyboard. It's 
well-made.
