What settings work best for you when reducing polygons in Maya, especially after using smooth proxy to model a character? Cuz I wanna make a low polygon model out of my high polygon model.

I like to select edge rings and collapse them.

I use to delete edge loops by selecting individual polygons... but normally I don't use proxy smooth, I subdivide them and convert back to poly's immediately. I like the mesh which results.
