960 would be better.

yes. unless you are designing purely for people with big monitors
960-70 is probably ideal

not if your site is an ad for widescreen monitors.

I'm in the early phases of rebuilding Stewdio. I'm having a big change of heart from using smaller components that float on a grid to using a larger more structured layout. The new "comfortable" width will be 1080 pixels and change. Easy to do for myself. Probably not the right thing for a client serving a wider array of visitors.

build your site in two sizes and use javascript to load one or the other depending on window size?

never too wide for the pornoz sites
- yeah, but porno sites always create a giant load.********

Unlike creative folk most people reduce their monitor screen sizes of their browsers so they can hide the screens at work or just because their not visual people. That being said I think we have to stick to 960, and now because of the iphone and ipad even more so than before. Let it be for now it is standard.

975 pixels, maximum width I would recommend...
