Identity

This is the same question as: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/803872/hilo-or-identity

Let's take the database of this site as an example.

Lets say that the site has the following tables:

Posts.
Votes.
Comments.

What is the best strategy to use for it:

Identity - which is more common.

OR

HiLo - which give best performance.

Edit: if HiLo is the best, how the structure of the DB would be?
