Canyoneering death in the Subway
VT, distel hitch, swabish, MT, among others. The VT is probably the best.

There are several "rope grab" knots that work. At times, they are all called "Prusiks".
I like the Bachman knot myself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachmann_knot
There is also the Blake Hitch, and the Kleimheist, and...
a few are here:

Canyoneering death in the Subway
The Bachman is great.
I'm not listing these knots exclusively for ascending, more for autoblocks in the context of this discussion. They all have pros and cons, the idea is to have several in your repitoir and know which is best for specific applications.
