I have Locale installed, but the major shortcoming of that is that it uses GPS to determine your location. Getting reception in your house is unreliable depending on where the satellites are and your phone having a clear shot to them.

I have used Power Manager for awhile (had a G1 previously) and always used paid version. With that you can adjust when screen times out for each profile. You also have more control when it happens. For example there is a setting to leave screen on when keyboard is open. Its a nice feature if writing an email or something and don't want screen to timeout during a pause.
