The most CONSTANTLY active seems to be the Mid Atlantic Rift - which is spreading apart at about 2-3 centimeters per year and is actively emitting materials all the time. Iceland is at the northern terminus and has regularly active volcanoes.
Along the Pacific plate, the "Ring of Fire" is active as the plate interacts with plates around it. For more information, see the Related Link.
