For anyone interested in this, Jamis Buck's book 'Mazes for Programmers' is a masterpiece of the genre.

My personal favorite distinction is between the Recursive Backtracker (which creates long, winding corridors with few dead ends which is great for tower defense games) vs. Prim's Algorithm (which creates lots of short cul-de-sacs which is better for roguelikes). The bias of the algorithm dictates the feel of the game more than the graphics do.
