I've used Fogbugz, Bugzilla and Mantis for a while now. The one complaint I have for all of them is that they're ugly. Ugly like the devil's face.
All of them let you save "filters/queries" so I can easily hit "All Regressions by Tyler" and see how I'm holding up the product from shipping. I would see this as valuable. Arbitrary fields would be nice, most trackers don't offer this. The magical mumbo-jumbo Fogbugz does for bug categorization was next to useless for me and we gave it 3 months and a couple thousand tickets to sort itself out. I think most people are looking for a system that "gets out of your way" how to actually do that, I'm not sure.
