With only one from each family, here's my ranking guesstimate:

1.  Fritz (7a)
2.  Chess Tiger (CT 14 or GT 2)
3.  Junior (7)
4.  Rebel Century (4)
5.  Gandalf (5)
6.  Shredder (6 or 5.32))
7.  Hiarcs (7.32)
8.  Yace (latest version)
9.  Crafty (latest version)
10. Nimzo (8 or 7.32)
11. Chessmaster (8000)
12. Goliath Light (latest version)

I think items 4-7 are about equal, as are items 8-11.

Looking forward to major new releases in the Hiarcs and Chess Tiger families!
