I've also used both DispcalGUI and Gnome Color Manager. What I prefer about DispcalGUI is that it will take an ambient light measurement (if your colorimeter supports it) then helps you set the correct brightness on your monitor. It also measures the Red, Green and Blue of your monitor, and then helps you set them to the correct levels. Unfortunately, the calibration takes much longer.
I agree that Gnome Color Manager is great for a quick, useable color profile for people who don't need total accuracy.
