HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is the Only way to go in my opinion. There is a Ton of info about it here.
Keep working hard!!

Im having a hard time with cardio no matter what I use..it's just so, boring. If I had to pick, Id chose the treadmill though.
The Best cardio is the one you'll do!
For me, that would be sprints; HIIT; metabolic workouts; volleyball; and swimming.

Sprints, sled sprints, hill sprints, and heavy sled dragging.
Treadmills suck.
Treadmills suck.
Just like CW said you can do HIIT just crank up the incline a ton and the speed a little bit!
Tredmill Sprints/HIIT! is the way to go

Cardio can get boring it's a preference but sometimes certain types of it is needed to achieve a desired look or this can depend on special needs too.For instance if you were training to compete as a bodybuilder then running everyday may not work cause of muscle depletion. Then stationary would be best but say as a bikini or figure competitor running would be helpful to lean the muscle bellies out.
I do cardio on an encumbered indoor cycle or an indoor rowing machine. I managed 2 hours of low intensity on the indoor cycle today and burned 1018 calories.
I find that Brain Sync or iMusic helps me get into the zone quickly and that it helps me stay focus for a long time. I could easily do another hour but my arse begins to hurt so I have to stop.

Heavy bag work and sparring (boxing). There is no cardio that compares to a good sparring match IMO.

Stair master or tread. If you're in the beginning stage running jus starts metabo.

I slow burn on the treadmill. 3.2mph at 14% incline for 45 minutes. I can maintain my muscle mass this way while I lose body fat. Plus I don't drain my body as much and there isn't much wear on my joints. Slow burn all the way. Guaranteed.
