either or - whatever you have on hand.

theDarkSide:
Are you looking for cleaning or sanitizing?  Title suggest one and post suggests another.

I clean with Oxiclean that I run through with beer line cleaner pump that is featured on the AHA.  http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/pages/community/pimp-my-system/show?title=pimp-my-system-beer-line-cleaner

I sanitize with Star San ( gave up on iodophor years ago due to discoloration and smell ).

yso191:
I use BLC (http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/cleaning-equipment/kegco_pressurized_cleaning_kit.shtml?bstr=1) in a hand-pump pressurized bottle. 

Note that most (all?) of these will have a connection to attach to a Sankey, not a Ball-lock.  I cut the Sankey connector off and put an adapter on, to which I screwed a ball-lock post.  So now I just attach the black ball-lock connector to the post on the end of the hose and pump cleaner through it, and out of the faucet.

I use PBW for cleaning the lines and the kegs.  I use StarSan for sanitizing.  I move the PBW through the lines using a bicycle pump connected to the barbed connector of a standard quick-connect.
