I've added a bunch of PDF files to the Mapping Resources section of my site. I've created pages with 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm and 30mm grids, each to suit a given figure size.
A compromise between a true hex-grid and a standard square grid, these PDF files consist of an offset square grid which provide the advantages of each type. I've taken to using it in preference to an actual hex-grid because it makes drawing regular forms (like rooms, for example) easier. So far I haven't found any real down-side to it, and if I ever get any spare cash again I intend to create a gigantic A1 layout and get it printed and laminated for use as a reusable battlemat.
You can find links to the individual PDF files at http://fitz.jsr.com/roleplay/props/mapping.html.
