I know what a real sport needs...
with 18MP I got a plenty of room for optimising my skill (you know what I mean)

The only time a smaller sensor with the same pixel count is superior to a larger sensor (aka higher pixel density) is when you are focal-length limited.

Although, I will shoot whatever iso is necessary to get the correct exposure or push the histogram to the right as much as possible without clipping (or sometimes clipping if the scene is too contrasty and I don't want flash).
However, I've noticed that with my method of processing, shooting over iso 1600 often results in crunchy, muddy color, noise ridden looking wildlife images. I don't know what it but I can't seem to make animals look good over iso 1600, sometimes I have problems getting them to look good around iso 1000. I have a few wildlife shots I'm proud of but they are few and far between, I'm very nervous shooting at any wildlife above iso 800.

I'm still use to my 30D, so 800 if I think about it.

As high as i need to go but i have no regrets using
1D Mark III - iso 3200 / 1Ds Mark III - iso 1600
I find that the files can take a lot of pounding in post processing and when i print them they still look great.

100 if I can. I am very comfortable up to 400. OK at 800 if I have to. 1600 for events but I would like to be comfortable at 3200 at events. That would be the ticket.

I have made my decision. Don't confuse me with the facts.

Yes, I know...but you could have gone for f/5.6 at 1s, at ISO800 for the same EV and benefited from a larger DOF.
Of course, it could be the case that you wanted EXACTLY that aperture.
...or, god forbid the simplicity of the thought, you went for that particular ISO because you felt comfortable dialing it up as a limit on that venerable 10D.
