I was also wondering about navigation within functions, do you use line/word movement functions or sexp/list movement functions more?
Both. C-a and C-e are pretty much reflexes for me :-) I don't know exactly when I use them, but I think I use them a lot. I bind forward/backward-sexp to C-M-left and C-M-right, because that's easier to type for me. (Doesn't work in terminals, though.) I use that quite often, especially when I fix some unbalanced parentheses. C-M-a C-M-q is my key for reindentation and C-M-e C-x C-e for evaluating a large form. I use C-M-u sometimes, C-M-d very rarely. C-M-space is really cool, as is C-M-t. I usually insert a pair of parentheses with M-( and often to try to wrap and expression inside parentheses with ESC 1 M-(, but that rarely works.
This are just my habits, other people may well to it differently.
