Hmmm. Whats the biggest gun?
Well, there's Drive 10 (or Tech Tool Pro if you're using 10.4) <http://www.micromat.com> and Data Rescue <http:// www.prosoftengineering.com/>. All three of these programs do things somewhat differently: Drive 10/TTP tries to be an all-things disk and hardware utility, DiskWarrior does nothing but rebuild munged disk directories (but does it better than anything else) and DataRescue doesn't try fixing things, just getting what data it can off your drive.
Or how about the best one that is free?
Disk Utility and fsck in single-user mode. Rinse and repeat until the drive is dead or the drive is fixed.
None of the above are free, but then, neither is all the stuff most people have stored on their drives. Even if it is stuff you CAN recreate, your time alone in doing so has value.
