I think "Statistical Inference" by George Casella and Roger Berger is taking
over Hogg & Craig, especially when courses are taught by younger professors.
It covers more modern topics, interesting endnotes and very useful exercises.
I used both books as a student and I would viote for Casella-Berger.
