IMO yes, it's the best tool, but keep in mind, this makes your script less portable, not all hosts will allow you to run the 'convert' binary, nor will all installations have it readily available (Windows doesn't come with ImageMagick by default). It works the best for the applications I've written so far, but the PHP gd functions are just as powerful and probably more portable.. so without knowing all your requirements, it's hard to give a definitive answer :).

Re: [PHP] Image Conversion... OT!
I've been using ImageMagick pretty much since 1997, I'm probably biased or ignorant of other tools that are probably available to people these days :). But, ImageMagick still works wonderfully for me, so.. yes it's the best :).
