Building new sites; what screen resolution to aim for?

The last time I built a site it was aimed for 1000 px wide displaying maximum and based on tables. I'm now setting up new sites but won't do the designing myself but before hiring a designer I want to decide what screen resolution to aim for. Are there stats on the web that show the most used screen resolutions?

Also, in your design would you use relatively postioned boxes and objects so that your site is "flexible" and display ok on various display resolutions, even though you will have less control of what your site is going to be displayed like?

OR, would you design a site for large home display with high resolution (mine's 1680 x 1050), and make a version for smaller resolution to which people with laptops can go, and a third one for mobile phones?

Zuzana I hope you'll jump in because I really like your designs and am considering hiring you, but most of your pages have the wide center positioned band design with blank space or a tiled background image on the left and the right, but I want to fill the whole screen, from the left edge of the display to the right edge.
