Well, I don't know about "favorite" since it's the only one I ever used but I have a Spyder2. It's pretty easy to use and works well. I t includes an adapter for LCDs as well.

I use the Spyder2Pro on my LCD - and I agree - it seems pretty seamless. It is nice to know that what you see is accurately displayed.
I used a Monoco coorimeter on my Windows machine, but I prefer the Spyder software on my Mac. Both seem to work fine. And files edited on the XP box, look proper on the Mac and vise versa.

Any problems with leaving marks on the panel (like suction cup)?
I have the first version of the Eye-One Display hardware. It worked OK, but I wasn't totally happy. I downloaded the latest version of the software last week and the new monitor profiles I just made seem much better.

I also use the Spyder2 and no, there are no suction cup problems - the back of the color sensor has two attachment options and you don't use the suction cups when using an LCD - instead it just rests against the screen. I profiled my screen with it and noticed a small but worthwhile difference.
Well, I picked up the Spyder2Pro and it works very well, I am quite satisfied.
Just a note, per something I read elsewhere, I have a dell 2005FPW and it was suggested that I run the calibration selecting no available controls on my monitor. It did seem to work best that way. Previously I was using adobe gamma, and I had to switch between the driver settings and the calibration to do the necessary adjustments, The Spyder did it all.

I believe the product is powerful enough to do a good job, when used in manual mode. I just have no idea what they're talking about in the directions.
