Best keyword research tool

[azguy]

Okay, what is the BEST keyword research tool?

I've heard all across the board, but I'm looking for preferrably a free tool, but just want to use one that can do competitive research, as well as find me a ton of long tail.

The three I use are the SEOmoz tool, Spyfu, and the google adwords tool. I'm looking forward to see what everyone else uses!

Edit: To clarify I'm talking about the term extractor specifically, but all the keyword tools can help steer your keyword strategy.

Pretty much the same... I use SEOmoz tool, Keywordspy and Adwords

I also use the free KeywordSpy plugin

When you say SEOmoz tool, do you mean Competitive Link Research Tool?

Couldn't install it as it says it's not compatible with firefox 5.0

Wordtracker is also a tool that hasn't been mentioned yet.  It is paid, but looks at keywords a different way and usually includes ideas for me that I have not previously thought of or discovered using SEOmoz's tools or Google Adword's Keyword Tool.

I have used all the tools mentioned above, but what I'm impressed is that AdGooroo is the only one that offers multi-market, mutli-search engine reports but their reporting suite is pretty basic.

I was not pleased with Spyfu.  Though their Recon reports look great, as they provide data on how much you profit is to be had by ranking higher on certain terms.

I am looking forward to using the SEOmoz reports and adding in Adgooroo's Tornado reports (which also supply missed profit) for clients.
