Sometimes I work in Nikon's iTTL, most of the time in Aperture Priority, and with a EV compensation for the background of about -1 (although I sometimes set the background exposure manually). For the flash, I either use the aforementioned iTTL or manual mode. Especially when the sun is quite bright, I start from full power and dial that down when needed. One very handy tool to have for evaluating the correctness of the ambient / flash mix on your camera LCD when you're working in bright light is a Hoodman Hoodloupe. Highly recommended! @ Alan: it really depends, both for the foreground and the background.
