I go down to level 12 (12 up from bedrock) and dig horizontal branch mines. Best way to find diamond, redstone, and some gold. For iron and coal, I go spelunking.
Oh, and a nice way to go spelunking? Dig stairs down until you find a cave. You may not find a cave the first time, but you will eventually. Usually I have really good luck with this method, as it hits deeper caves which hold more goodies.
