It depends what you want out of your client.

If you want triggers and powerful scripting, you can't go wrong with tinyFugue. There are Applescript installers and launchers available so you never have to mess with the shell if you don't want. No client is better supported than TF. It has been constantly updated for years, has an extensive online manual and an active mailing list where you can get quick answers to any question imaginable. (There's also a huge archive of past mailings.) TF is stable as a brick and there's nothing you can't script.

I wouldn't use Savitar if I needed scripting capabilities. The client handles triggers pretty well but there's almost zero scripting syntax. If you just need a stable client with a clean Mac interface, you can't beat Savitar.

Now, there's a third option. Apple just released Boot Camp, software that lets you run Windows XP on your Intel-based Mac. It handles everything. No hacking involved. You have to purchase a Windows license and running Windows on your Mac involves a reboot, but if you want to use zMud or Pueblo or one of the other PC-only clients, here's your solution.
