Depends on the kid I think. My daughter is impervious to timeouts but responds well to "incentives" or having stuff taken away. I have spanked her once in her life (she's 6) and she got the message. She has never pushed us nearly that far ever again.
My son hates timeouts with a passion and they are extremely effective for him. I have spanked him once and so has my wife. It is completely ineffective for him as he just completely shuts down and 100% tunes you out as you try to talk to him (same if you yell at him at all).
