Steve Dan's list is about three times to size of the yoyo list. I have not checked where they overlap/differ. There are other lists on the net (El Reg pointed to one at http://www.malwaredomains.com/ for example) and there are services such as DNSrbl which are used by ISPs.
But this is an arms race. The bad guys will always be ahead, all we can do is as Dan says, try to make it "not suck as much".
I find that the list I use, together with adblockplus in FF, helps to keep the noise down.
You inspired me! I decided to have a play around and found I could mangle the list provided by malwaredomains.com using sed. It's my first attempt at using sed by the way. My script below in case anyone's interested. 'scuse the line wraps.
