I mostly use 1-min, 5-min, 15-min, 30-min, 60-min, and 2-hour. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd use 65-min and 130-min, as they parcel the day out in equal increments. If you have a low volume stock, the 1-min probably isn't going to do much good, especially mid-day when volume dries up like a pitcher of green beer on St. Patties day. I sometimes use 3-min, but not very often. 10-minute almost never. I stopped using 2-minute as well. Trying to keep things a little more simple these days to match my intellect <G>

Lou - for intraday trading the indexes such as SPY, QQQ, IWM: the 3min, 15min and 60min are primary chart timeframes with the indicators & Bollinger Bands I like to use. I would not give up the 3-minute chart when trading SPY, QQQ and the futures contracts, if I could only use one chart time frame for indicator and BB and %B setups ... though the 60-minute is best for the most reliable short advances or do NOT short advances .. and for buy dips actual trading setups There are several items like the 200,3 BB on the 1-minute SPY and the Volume Weighted Average Price on the 1-minute which are only reliable for use to timing shifts in the directional trading bias when using the 1-minute chart.
