What's the best utility software for Tiger?

Is it Tech Tool Pro, Cocktail or Diskwarrior? I'm thinking of purchasing one of these.

Thanks

They do different things. What is it you're looking to do? It might be best if you looked at the website for all three and found out what each does, then if you have more questions, search the forums or ask here.

MacJanitor is all I need (and Apple's Disk Utility to repair permissions). Both are free.

Tech Tool Pro and Diswarrior have some uses, although I'd never use them. Cocktail is the biggest waste of money ever. It doesn't really do anything you can't do natively in OS X.
