Other than being able to put paid apps on a jailbroken iPhone, my favorite app is Backgrounder. It comes in handy soo much. If you don't know what it does, you hold the home button when you're in an app and it puts the app in the background so it will keep running. To actually quite the app you go into it again, hold the home button and it will close the proc. You can tell an app is running in the background because it will have a little black circle on the icon. Very useful app. Also iStat to free up memory occasionally. I dig the tethering when I'm out and about.

My gf has her iPhone jail broken, but honestly, I think she does it just because she can...I haven't seen her do anything with it that actually mattered. I haven't had a problem doing anything I needed (or wanted) to do without jail breaking. I also have a Droid at the moment, but damn, I'll tell you, it's a annoying as hell in comparison. And I really hate the little feedback vibration every time I touch one of the permanent keys (maybe that can be turned off-I haven't taken the time to delve too much into the options yet). I'll keep using it for a few more days but so far it doesn't compare, even though Verizon's 3G coverage IS a little but broader out this way (but, it's not as much broader as I'd thought it was supposed to be). However, if I didn't have the iPhone as an option, I'd probably love the Droid. Sure beats what I used to use, even if it doesn't quite meet (for me) the iPhone standards. As always with this kind of thing, I'm sure YMMV.
