Wordtracker, because it compiles a massive database of keywords and phrases which online users search for. It also shows how often specific keywords or phrases are searched for as well as the number of sites for which they compete. An extremely user friendly tool since it has an ability to differentiate between search terms that include capitalization, word ordering and plurality.

I, too, prefer Wordtracker the most. For me, I think Wordtracker gives the most realistic results as compared to others. Although, I somewhat use keyword discovery (annual count results) too.
