The usual way I use is

:put

It's linewise, but there are some stunts (coming to mind: abusing
:substitute and control+r to pull in content from various registers)

It also takes a register, so if you want the system clipboard,
you can do

:put *

-tim

This was covered just yesterday, in the topic "Paste in command mode"
