I prefer to say "much appreciated," the latter choices are too cliche.

I think they correspond pretty closely with どうも、ありがとう、ありがとうございます, and so on. It depends on the formality of the situation and how grateful you are. That said, however, Americans can be much less formal than Japanese without intending any disrespect. As you may know, in America, informality tends to be associated with friendliness. So you might be surprised by how frequently Americans just say "thanks" (the most casual expression) where Japanese would say どうもありがとうございます. I think a lot of it is based on your tone of voice, too. If you say "thanks" the way you say どうも, then it means どうも. But if you say "thanks" the way you say どうもありがとうございます, then that's what it means. Tone of voice and body language may be more important in English than in Japanese.

Oh, so the tone is more important than the words themselves. I find it good that informality tends to be associated with friendline, because here as you might know it will often be considered to be impoliteness, 無礼, I guess.
