Tis really depends on what you want to do with it... If you want to do just recoveries of drives that are (almost) working fine, but just have a lot of bad sectors of a minor firmware problems, I would go for the DC-tool. BUT if you want to be able to really fix firmwares on the most basic level, fix major problems or manipulate/exchange them, I choose the PC3K-UDMA.
I'm working with both tools at the same time here, you really have to choose when to use which tool. Both have there beneficts (DC -> Shadowdisk; PC3K -> better firmware handling), both have there uses. As I think of myself as a professional, I don't mind how much it costs, it has to do what it is made for. OK SA promisses more functionality than you get, but about their helpdesk I can't complain: they've helped me out several times (in spite of what others say, this is my experience); for good help over the phone from ACE-labs you better speak Russian (Also: my experience).
Choose wisely, and trust on what the professionals say, not on what the commercials say.
