I'd hardly call $29 "big bucks".

"Best" is strictly a matter of preference, especially when it comes to usenet
clients. I believe Unison has a trial period, so try it and decide whether you
like it more than MT-NW, and whether it's worth $29 to you.

"Best" is in the eye of the beholder. I have been using Mozilla's
Thunderbird (currently @ Version 3.0.4 for Mac). I use it under
Windows OS as well. Have been using it from the time it was born
as Netscape Messenger (pre-AOL purchase of Netscape).

Just to emphasize how silly your question is, let me tell you that
alpine is the best news client. (I probably will be switching back to
it soon as I've found that SeaMonkey has all the drawbacks of Thunderbird.

The reason that I consider alpine the best is that there is one feature
that is a requirement for me (but for few other people). I insist that
my newsreader is also a good IMAP client. So I've pretty much been
stuck with Thunderbird or alpine.

No, gnus is the best news client, and Blood Simple is the best film!
