A lot of people like Mabels Labels. I personally just go onto ebay and buy the kind that you can iron on. I've never had any problems with them coming off after washing. They're cheap too - like 200 for $5 and that includes shipping!
I got a bunch from Label Daddy using a groupon. Totally worth it; I got our last name only, so I can use them for either one of my girls.
I can't tell you how many times I've looked at a sippy cup or jacket as we were leaving the house, realized it wasn't labeled, and slapped one on. It has really helped, both for DD1 at preschool, and DD2 when I take her to the gym daycare and many of the kids have similar snack cups or sippies.
I used to use a sharpie and I'd have to re-label DD1's water bottles every few washes; the Label Daddy labels stick really well no matter how much we wash them, and even re-stick just as well if my kids pick them half off or whatever.
OliverslabelsThey go through the dishwasher, washer, dryer, and never need replaced. I've had to peel them off of things I finally wanted to give away. Love them!

We used Campbound(dot)com.
Fantastic people we have used them for several years with my grandmothers labels in her nursing home as well as DS's preschool.
Quick turnaround, and iron on labels.
these.
These things are indestructible in the dishwasher not as great on clothes but I will BT them
Again for #2.
Inchbug's Orbit Labels for cups, Mabel's Labels for jackets/shoes/etc.
