From a WaPo article linked at Lifehacker:
Favorite:
Love and Bacon (Spike Mendelsohn)
Occasionally fun:
Seacrest out
Off like a prom dress
Meh:
Warmly
XOXO (meh when i wouldn't XOXO in person)
Does "Cordially" ever mean anything other than "My hostility is only thinly veiled"?
(Ruth McCann, WaPo)
The terseness of these is appealing:
Navy and the Air Force: "V/R" ("Very respectfully")
Marines: "S/F" (Semper Fi)
Army Rangers: "RLTW" ("Rangers Lead the Way")
Sadly, my favorites are probably not fit for public consumption. For example, I'd love to regularly close communications with "I have the honor to remain your obedient servant" but I think it might just make things awkward. I'll be sticking with my stand-by, "Best," unless "Thanks" is relevant.

It's not unusual for my mother to close electronic correspondence "L/M," which stands of cuorse, for "Love, Mom."
