I don't have a copy of any of the easily-available big TLD
(com/net/org), but I guess it should be relatively easy to look at the
DS records there and see whether NSEC or NSEC3 is used by delegations?

I did ask some developers, and they said that PowerDNSSEC, which is
very popular for hosting in Holland at least, defaults to NSEC. IIRC
the NL domain is the one with the largest portion of DNSSEC signed zones
(although I don't know what portion of the overall DNSSEC picture this
is).

For small to medium zones NSEC seems to make more sense to me... even
for large zones once you have a certain amount of the zone that needs
RRSIG (delegation doesn't require signatures in NSEC3 opt-out, but DS
records still do).

Cheers,
