Personally I take stats as very confidential and would not display them. In fact, I do not provide exact stats even for potential advertisers, it keeps the fishing expeditions down and advetisers can collect their own data anyway. As far as some kind of implied quality due to popularity, just use hyperbole like 'thousands of visitors a month' or 'the top site in our industry'.

Never If your site is doing poorly then don't advertise it.
If it is doing well then why bother to advertise it. People are not as interested in your stats as you are :) Its a sign of a newbie site in my opinion (except for drudge, but then what good do those figures actually achieve?

I have my stats password-protected. I worked very hard to get the search engine positions that I have. I'm not going to give someone else information they can use to boost their site.

I would agree with Jon_King. 'Advertise' your stats, but only in very vauge terms such as 'we had over 20,000 visitors last month'. However that would only really be interesting to potential advertisers, so I wouldn't slap it all across the front page. And certainly don't advertise which are your most popular pages, that's just asking for them to be copied by your competitors!
