Oh, one more exception. People tend to prefer "I better" if there's going to be another 'have/had' in the rest of the sentence. "He better have my money." - Fine, sounds natural. "He had better have my money." - Sounds a bit strange.

From what I understand, "I had better" is the correct way to say it and always has been. People are prone to taking shortcuts in language though, so this was shortened to "I'd better." But then the 'D' sound eventually got lost when speaking naturally, so now in casual everyday speech it's very common to simply say "I better" even though it's technically wrong. They're interchangeable in every context except super formal settings, where "Had better" is the only correct way.
