In my experience, you want lots of clips and posts. They make great hinges in a tiny amount of space.
Click hinges, such as those in the Designer sets Vincent's talking about are OK, but I wind up using them to make static angles more than actual hinges; the chances of a guy's ankle needing to be in 15?? increments are slim.
I think in general, really little kits solve the same issues that we need to solve when building for Mechaton, so they're both cost-effective and specifically useful.
Soren has done some really neat Mechaton-scale stuff, too... though I don't see it on his Flickr page there.
