I'm of the school that Jo mentioned in an early post, but I've also heard that it's best to use "said" more than other words. For example, you might get tripped up if you were reading:

"Look at the sky!" Joe exclaimed.

"Is it a bird?" Amy queried.

"Could it be a plane?" Kate wondered.

"I don't think so; it's Superman!" Joe declared.

Sometimes it's best to just stick with said, so the brain reads the dialogue, and not the...writing, if that makes any sense.

EDIT: I must have flown right past Doogies post; sorry. fictionfactor/blushing.gif
