I've tried a number of 3rd-party masking tools including KnockOut, Fluid Mask and Extensis Mask Pro and, while they've all got their advantages and seem to work well, I always find myself returning to Photoshop's built-in tools if I want to do some masking/extraction/background-removal quickly and with the minimum of messing about. I guess it's like Mike says - familiarity with the tools and the interface counts for alot.
