i think i've used all the free ones. i needed to test out my own rss
feed so i'm made it a point to check a good number of them out.

the ones i liked: 

amphetadesk (perl/any browser, cross-platform)
abilon
newzspider
nttp//rss (java/ any newsreader, cross-platform)
newzie
sage (firefox plugin, cross-platform)
thunderbird (built in rss support, cross-platform)

ones i didn't like:

feedreader
blogmatrix (python based, cross-platform
bottomfeeder (java based)
any .net based ones

i use the sage plugin for firefox, as i invevitably want to click on a
a link anyway...
