I am trying to make a subtle gradient but I keep getting the weird bands of color (not smooth transitions).
Obviously this is because the color values are subtly changing over a large distance.
Is there any quick way to determine a solution to this? Or just keep trying different colors?

Adding a subtle noise helps

What kind of monitor are you working on? I ask because I was noticing a lot of banding on Photoshop gradients on my 15" Powerbook, but when viewing the same files on a couple Cinema Displays and a CRT, the banding wasn't visible.

or how many colours are you running on your video card, anything less than millions will give you banding that isn't there

I think the monitor as mentioned is a key factor.
I had a subtle gradient fade into black at the top of a website I was working on, and it did not look likt a smooth transition and there was some banding on 15" powerbook also, yet on CRT it was not visible.

make sure you've got the gradient type set to solid.
