In the market to get my monitor calibrated--
What's the most popular/highest quality program out there?

Try ColorEyes Display Pro if you're serious about calibrating your monitor.

I use Eye One 2 in conjunction with ImagePrint RIP with much success. Neither is cheap.

Yes, the ColorEyes Display Pro is the best quality software for monitor profiling, and the newest version (the Pro version) is a lot easier to use than the older version of the software. They are software makers only, so you have a choice of which device you want bundled with the software.
Interestingly enough, the Xrite DTP-94 (aka Monaco Optix XR) is the best colorimeter out there, although it is being discontinued by Xrite in favor of the EyeOne Display 2. (Costs too much to build?) Both of them are good colorimeters and will give you good profiles, but the DTP-94 has ambient temperature compensation and noise reduction circuitry to help calibrate your blacks. So it has a slight edge over the i1D2. While Xrite promises continuing support for the DTP-94, you might want to get something else if you're planning on upgrading to Vista anytime soon, since support for that has been slow in coming.
Personal disclaimer time:
Oh, and we sell all of the instruments and software here so hopefully I don't have any untoward bias for any one.

Thanks Pat. If it were YOU making the decision on the colorimeter, which would you buy?
