I use TweetDeck, I have found it does everything I need. I have never looked at any of the other tools, so there may be a better one out there.

TweetDeck is great, i use it lots. Social Oomph and Tweetbig are also good paid tools if you are trying to grow your following.

I usually use Tweetdeck to manage my social media, but when it occasionally crashes I switch to Hootsuite. Both are free and from experience very good.

Yes i think that Tweedeck and Hootsuite are both great free tools, definitely considering they can be used for free as you say Elaine.

Have you ever tried using more analytical & targeted growth tools such as tweepi, crowdbooster etc?

I've never tried any of the analytical and targeted growth tools, perhaps I might take a look at the ones you've suggested.

There are some great ones out there depending on what your objectives are. As far as free ones go i would suggest:

Tweepi - managing your followers/friends lists on twitter, plus targeting new followers in specific niches

Crowdbooster - Gives you data about who your best retweeters, most influential followers etc are. Also data on how far your tweets are reaching beyond your own network of followers.

Calltracks has a lot of social media accounts and we use 'If this then that' (http://www.ifttt.com) to link as many as we can together. It is particularly effective for updating bookmarking sites, but falls down for blog sites such as tumblr as it only posts a tinyurl. We have started to use Google Analytics social media tools to identify top performers, and have found Stumbleupon and Linkedin drive the most traffic, but these tend to have high bounce rates.
Pinterest has low traffic but better quality visitors.
Calltracks Limited was established in 2004 and offers a comperehensive call tracking, call measurement, and call data analysis for business.
Calltracks Limited is being used by a host of marketing and SEO companies together with businesses that rely on phone calls for trade.

We used sproutsocial for a while but realised that paying a monthly charge was pointless for some analytic data. Especially when it was seriously delayed data and not very accurate.

Now we just use Hootsuite, they have even added Google+ connectivity so that just made it a whole lot better.

Tweedeck and Hootsuite are my options and I use them in a balanced procedure.
