Only 2: personal and work.

Once in a blue moon, I will create an email alias which forwards to my personal account. For example, when I am trying to find out more information about a product and the only facility the site provides is a request form. Which almost certainly adds me to a spam list. Then when I'm done with the alias, I delete it. Spammers deserve bounces.

I actually never thought about using aliases as a security/privacy measure but it seems to be quite common (just had to read the replies here).
