I'm very mouse-oriented, probably 80 mouse - 20 keyboard. If I need
something repeated again and again, I'll make a custom toolbar, put a couple
buttons on it, and drag it to where I need to use it. This makes me pretty
efficient even with the mouse. The inability to do this in Excel 2007 means
that my maximum theoretical efficiency in 2007 is substantially lower than
in Excel 2003.

It depends on what (and how much) you need to accomplish.

This is my opinion:
The mouse is easier for exploring menu structures to find the commands I'm
interested in, but slow and inaccurate for speed work. Once I know where
they are....if I have to repeat the same command many times (or even a
few)...I'll generally use the keyboard shortcuts or navigate with the
keyboard using the underlined menu characters.

Does that help?

Could you tell me which method is considered the most efficient in Excel?
Obviously a combination of all are used but which is preferred? Mouse,
Keyboard or Toolbar?
