I am looking for input about the "best" Add-in(s) for Visual Studio.NET (2005 or later) related to accelerating developers' productivity in the area of coding/code modification/refactoring.
Specifically, I am trying to establish a corporate standard/best practice and am looking for an "ideal" software configuration that will maximize the company's .NET developers' productivity (i.e. a developer's overall contribution/benefit to the business).
Specifically, which of the following "coding productivity" add-ins would you recommend, and why?
A1: JetBrain's Resharper
A2: Developer Express's CodeRush
A3: Whole Tomato's Visual Assist X
A4: Other?
The recomended tool(s) _don't_ need to be free, but I'm specifically looking for recommendations (and/or warnings to avoid specific apps) based on personal experiences and/or evaluations (rather than just a link to the tool's website). Input from anyone who has personal experience with more than one of the above tools and that compare and contrast the recommended tool(s) with the tools' competitors would be especially appreciated.
Thanks.
