We use the toluidine blue/alcian yellow method. Our pathologists like how 
the HP stand out blue against the yellow stained mucin. (And, it makes it 
easier for us techs to check how well our control slide stained too.) There 
are a few other labs that have started using this method after seeing our 
slides. :)
