LoadRunner is good but expensive. Proper testing with it takes someone who really knows it well.
Apache JMeter runs well in Windows and basics can be learned in half day. It's free and usually is my first choise. It uses rather unique terminology in my opinion, though. What it lacks is reporting that would be suitable for business people so it's more geared towards developers. It can be used to test wide variety of targets and quite extensive testing scripts can be created without actual programming. I used NeoLoad in one project couple of months ago and liked it as well. Somehow I get feeling that it's based on JMeter but has easier interface and better reporting. It's not too expensive so why not check it out.
