In the case of many td's with the class "x" or "Y", if the value you're looking for remains in static position on the page, you can use the index number to find it and draw out the value. Unfortunately if the page code ever changes, you're at serious risk for uncovering the wrong value and in the worst case, it wouldn't break your script so you'd be none-the-wiser.
With WWW::Mechanize and Hpricot/Nokogiri, I got used to using xpath to find the element I'm looking for and verify it that way -- it looks like you can do that with Watir now, too: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/XPath This is also when I'd try to get with the developer to see if he could change the css classes or add a name/alt/etc to help me locate that specific element.
