What are the five most used and natural forms of saying "good bye"?
I have read a list with dozen of ways to say "good by".
(http://www.listology.com/darktremor/list/every-single-way-say-goodbye)
Which one are the most used (in your country, region) Which one is more formal or informal)?
That's a ridiculous website. It has a hodgepodge of real greetings along with nonsensical, stupid phrases.
It depends on what country you live in and where.
In the USA you'll hear many different sayings,
Bye
Bye Bye
Buhbye
Bye Now
See ya
Laters
Peace
Alright
Aight
Ciao
etc...

Bye, bye bye, good bye, see you, see you later, see you soon, until next time...mmm... cherio (for the english).
It really doesn´t matter which one you use, they all mean the same. Formal...mm... Good bye, until next time, have a nice day.

I have to agree with Maidhc, most of that list is plain stupid. "Kamsahamnidah" is not even a goodbye; it means thankyou.
Aside from the standard farewells, "ciao", "cheers" are commonly used in Australia, as well as "hooroo" or "hooray"(not as a cheer) by older folk.
