Climatological day

Having just read the piece on observation timing on the FAQ pages, I wanted to see what the majority do with regards timings.
10 or so years ago, as a teenager with admittedly not much of an eye for detail, I used to take my readings at 1800 local time each day, noting the max/mins for the previous 24 hours. However, having had a little look on various sites I see 0900 local seems to be a more common time, along with splitting the climatological day into two periods. Or is a "normal" day seen as acceptable (00-24 local)?
Thanks,
Luke
I never realised my post would create such a debate. I think I'll go with the 09-09 period so my observations can be directly compared to other "official" stations. Thanks all.
