4-12 exist in the wild for password authentication, larger values are
sometimes seen for other uses (you may choose not to support such uses).
I think the defaults are as follows:
Solaris - $2a$04 once bcrypt is enabled (it is not by default)
CommuniGate Pro - $2a$05, ditto
OpenBSD - $2a$08 for root, $2a$06 for non-root
Owl - $2y$08 for all by default
openSUSE - $2y$10 for all by default
Google web searches also find numerous instances of $2a$12, albeit
mostly in discussions on use of bcrypt from scripts and such.
An example use other than password authentication:
http://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/1765/can-i-construct-a-zero-knowledge-proof-that-i-solved-a-project-euler-problem
This has $2a$16 and $2a$20 samples.
The paper and slides on scrypt compare it against bcrypt at up to $2a$16
("tuned for file encryption").
