A good Data Recovery program?

I am just curious on what everyones opinion is on what software is best for recoverying data from corrupt hard drives, floppy disks and other devices. I was looking into purchasing one or maybe there is a free one online that works just as good? I checked out download.com but couldn't find anything that caught my eye. Any help would be appreciated.

I use "Get Data Back" I haven't used it a lot but everything that I have wanted it to do it has done with no problems so far, as regards a price I don't know it was given to me by a customer in the UK who needed the job done, tried it himself, threw the towel in and said "please take this and help me get my hard drive back" I have used it several times since and it's great.

For floppies, USB keys, flash memory, CD's, and other removable devices we have had the best luck with BadCopy Pro. For hard drives, we use Ontrack Easy Recovery.
