Don't know which is the most common, but:
#!python
is a likely candidate for the least common.
That's because this '#!' interpreter syntax requires the
full path (or at least a path relative to the current working
directory) of the interpreter.
That is, it doesn't to $PATH (execvp or execlp) path searches.

entitled:
Advantages of #!/bin/env python?
which discusses the pros and cons of these alternatives.
