Panoramas being my specialist area...
Cheap (free), powerful but a steeper learning curve than some apps
would be Hugin. Hugin has a *very* active team of developers, so make
sure you've downloaded a recent version.
Autopano Pro (nowhere near $379, not sure where you got that) is the
easiest to use and the most automated, but can lack control if things
don't do what you expect.
PTGui (PanoTools Graphical User Interface is the reason for the
mouthful of a name) is what I use (the pro version, which has things
like batch stitching and HDR which you won't need) and combines quite
a bit of the ease of use of Autopano with a huge amount of control if
you want to do more complex things.
All three of these work happily with multi-row panoramas and full
sphericals.

What are everyone recommendations as of 2010
for best tools for creating panoramas (including 360 degree
horizontal over head ones) on Mac OSX?
I see a an open source package which runs on Macs:
Hugin -- Free
http://hugin.sourceforge.net/download/
Autopano gets great reviews but $$379.00 seems a bit outrageous?
Panoweaver only outputs Flash...
Lots of windows only options which I can't use.
