Default Good BitTorrent Clients

I've broken back into the BitTorrent scene, and the one I like best is Tomato Torrent.

Anyone else care to share what works best for them?

1) BitComet

With BitComet, you can't stop downloading a particular file after you've already started the download.

Azureus takes up a lot of memory resources (javaw.exe)

The original python... eh - can't do much management there, but it still works.

EDIT: I FORGOT IM IN A MAC THREAD Disregard it, unless you're curious for WinXP

They do have an Azureus client for mac. Same issues with memory hogging though.
