First marriage: Took his name and didn't change it back after the divorce. I had pretty much just gotten everything switched over and it was such a hassle! Denise Marie 1sthubname
Second marriage: Changed it to Denise Maidenname 2ndhubname
It remains that now (even though we're divorced). If you don't change your name, just don't get haughty with the school when they call you Mrs. Hislastname because they just tend to go with the kids' names. It's so confusing for them! They sometimes refer to my ex as my husband, and usually catch themselves and apologize. I tell them not to worry.
Many of the women I work with were published already when they got married and kept their maiden names. Most who were not published took their husbands names.
It's very individual. But, as I said, if your name is different than your childrens' names, don't get rude if someone calls you Mrs. Child's last name.
