Ethereal - free, and decent. Shomiti Surveyor - expensive, requires special hardware for line rate (and excess) traffic generation, and difficult as could be to use. But very powerful. Basically, it depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to analyze what's going on on the LAN, I see nothing wrong with Ethereal/tcpdump/<insert free package here>.
