Depends on the purpose. For documents (especially those on which people work collaboratively over long periods of time) I find YYYY-MM-DD ideal. It spares the issues around day or month first when Europeans and people from the US work together, the document are easy to sort and, if it takes more than a year to complete the project (as is often the case in research) things don't get messy.

Run a business? Infuriate and baffle your accountants by insisting to do all business and keep all records according to a lunar calendar.
