I use a weegie board to pull the data out. No software required.

Depends what the fault is with your drive & what you are trying to achieve. For all round capabilities try WinHex.

I disagree. It is good, but is more effective for specific situations. Would never use this on an unstable HD, or for deleted data, for example.

Yes I agree rather dependent on what you are doing. For reconstructing and inspecting a working out a RAID configuration I'd feel a bit lost with out having winhex to refer to. For finding deleted data or lost or corrupt partitions I can think of much more suitable software.

I haven't tried all of the major recovery programs, but I've tried (and own) a pretty good sampling. In my opinion there is no "best" program - each has its strengths and weaknesses, and often, picking the "best" one for the job depends upon the type of failure.
