I'd like to re-map my EMACS to put the most common commands on the home row. Which commands are the most common? Is there some way I could measure this? Has someone already attempted this?

A:
The most common command is probably self-insert-command, but that's already bound to most keys directly. :)

Hah! You are technically correct. (The best kind of correct)

I'd say it depends on the user. So measure your own most-frequently used:
http://xahlee.org/emacs/command-frequency.el
And although Randal was mostly making a joke, self-insert-command is my most frequently used, consistently around 20-25%.
If you take a look at the web page for command-frequency, you'll see that the most common commands are:
- self-insertion
- movement
- isearch
- paste
- save-buffer ...
