Speaking as a Brit, I think that "Good, yeah, fine" discloses too much information. You are actually telling somebody something about you. (Although it may of course be false.) I tend to prefer "Not so bad, thanks," as it is open to more interpretations.

I tend to go for "Can't complain" or "Mustn't grumble".
"Could be worse" is also nicely non-commital!
As a Zummerzet lad, the correct answer to any question is always “Aaarh”, with a suitably ambiguous intonation.
Brief but effective!
