I use the Festival speech system. One huge advantage is that it's open software, and free.
One thing I've discovered. You listen to these voices long enough, and you grow quite fond of them, like a favorite uncle.
For something completely different, check out the comedy schtick at www.botcast.com.

Sounds like it uses the Java TTS system. Personally I don't like the
way it sounds :-)
Hate to say it, but the MS speech stuff is pretty good though the
documentation is somewhat difficult to follow.
A good Python wrapper is pyTTS
