Look at tournaments people are running here such as ChessFun, Shep, and Jonas
Cahonas. They enter the chess programs/engines in their tournaments which they
think are the strongest competitors, and they are probably right! It's hard to
say for sure which one is the strongest. There are several strong ones of
similar strength at the top of the heap. The SSDF list is also of interest:

I would just caution against Fritz 7 for analysis. From what I hear it doesn't
work right. Otherwise the Chessbase engines and graphic interface are good for
analysis. Deep Fritz, Fritz 7 (no MMX), Fritz 6, Nimzo 8, Junior 7, Shredder
5.32, and the Chess Tiger engines come to mind.
