AFAIK the canonical FPS setup is wasd for up/strafe left/down/strafe right, left click for fire, right click for secondary fire, x for duck and z for prone. Or, anyway, it's what I use. I think it allows for more flexibility in movement, but sometimes cheap keyboards don't support strafe+forward+duck together too well without using modifiers (ctrl/shift).

Actually shifting wasd over to the right is a more natural stance if you do any typing. WSAD => EDSF etc. If you're not already used to wasd then definitely consider it.
