I won't break down on a per-DNSbl basis, but here's some data for the past 
week:

Insecure server        342,122       (79,449 unique -- blocked ONLY for 
this reason)
Known spam src         351,648       (288,234 unique)
rDNS blocks    591,570       (378,792 unique)
Dynamic IP addr      1,095,792       (950,424 unique)

Total blocked        2,048,523

Strange.  Is there some sequencing at play?  Which are done first?

We query all DNSbls all the time.  We tell the remote user (via URLs),
all reasons for the block, not just the first one we run across.

Here's moderately comparable breakdowns from our spamtrap (percentage of 
full spamtrap load):

CLASS DUL                  345446   3.04
CLASS MANUAL               154099   1.36
CLASS MISC                4106790  36.12
CLASS PROXY               8804470  77.43
CLASS RELAY                 24925   0.22
CLASS SPAMSOURCE           163314   1.44

[These overlap, but there is no sequencing dependencies]

I would assume your "Insecure server" is analogous to a combination of 
our PROXY and RELAY classes.  One DNSBL, CBL, _alone_ manages to catch 
74% of the 77% that PROXY gets.

Correct.  Open Proxy, Open Relay, Insecure Formmail.cgi, etc..

What BL are you using for Dynamic?  That 3% is PDL+SORBSdul.

We use several; most notably MAPS DUL and SORBS.

MISC is a combination of several things, including a "No rDNS + 
complaints" and a "spamcop or ORDB block + complaints" BL.

Open relay is isn't worth bothering with anymore, tho, none of the ones 
I'm using are particularly good (SORBSsmtp + a local one - can't use 
ORDB...).

Agreed.
