I used FuzzyFinder over a year ago and am now using CtrlP. I also used Command-t in between. Of those 3 plugins, CtrlP is IMHO by far the best, although command-t is also nice. I found FuzzyFinder to be rather slow and have some strange behaviour from time to time. Command-t is fast, because it uses a small external application (written in C I believe) to scan for files. CtrlP is also very fast, because it caches the file list. CtrlP is entirely written in Vimscript, and that is one of the advantages over Command-T. I can use CtrlP without any problem on my Nokia N900, while command-t is a lot more difficult because of it's dependencies on Ruby and a C compiler. Also CtrlP has more features. It can scan files in the current directory, from the root of your repository (if using Git for example), it can scan open buffers, most recently used files, tags etc. With ctrlp you can also create files and open multiple files at once.
