I boil till they reach 140-150 degrees in the center, you can make the lobster taste a lot better by flavoring the water you're going to boil them in. I like to add LOTS of salt (water should taste almost too salty), some fresh herbs, peppercorns and lemon. Sometimes I add white wine too. Plus, you've got a really flavorful broth left over to make soup with. I usually buy extra lobster, and cook some mussels/clams/shrimps and whatever else as well, and then make a seaefood chowder.

what acyroma said... steamed lobster isnt too good... and i never bother killing them before putting them in water... they die pretty quick in water...
sometime i grill them , i cut them in half alive and throw them on the grill and finish them in the oven with garlic butter

Yeah the only way I would steam lobster would be if I was to have live lobsters, kill em, take the meat out of the shell and make dumplings or something. I would never steam lobster in the shell. With the shell on the steam just causes the lobster to overcook on the outside before its fully cooked inside.

Boil them with some store bought "boil seasonings".

Serve with garlic butter.

Enjoy heaven.
