The three most popular types for long-distance hikers are homemade alcohol stoves (you can find plans for many different designs on the web), lightweight canister stoves (like the Snow Peak Giga Power and others), and Esbit stoves (solid fuel tablets).  I've also seen a few people using wood-burning stoves like the Zip Stove.  Very few people use white gas stoves for long-distance hiking.
