I've also noticed some people I've spoken to, when discussing madhabs, claim (with a bit of pride) that their madhab is strictest. But it seems to me that each madhab has different areas where it is stricter than others and other areas a bit relaxed than other madhabs. So saying which madhab is strictest is impossible to answer...

Firstly, it depends what we base our judgement of 'strictness' on, and what we would call 'strict' is definitely arbitrary. Having said that, I would say that the Maliki madh'hab definitely is not the strictest, and it is in the spirit of the Maliki madh'hab to keep things natural.
