Also, I have been told, and at least partly believe this, that when you actually use a defragging utility you can avoid certain fragmentation more effectively than just by copying. Simply because these utilities can make a decision on what to put where, rather than just doing it file by file.

Johannes, Is a well know fact that the best way to defragment a disk is to copy all contents to another one (something that you should have done anyway), erase the disk and copy back the information.
And the price is fair ;)

Thing is, I don't actually have a problem. The reason I need a disk utility is that I want a tool to defragment, especially my Audio drive. This seems to be a good time to get a utility which will also help me should I get a problem in the future.
It seems that most people recommend DiskWarrior. If I don't hear anything negative about it I will probably buy it.

It's best to own as many Disk Utils as you can afford. In my experience there is no "best" utility. I've encountered problems that would make Norton Utils crash, but DiskWarrior would fix, and problems that neither Norton nor DiskWarrior could address, but Drive 10 fixed with ease. It's a lottery.
I bought them both, and Drive 10 too. That may sound like an extravagance, but I collected them one at a time - as each prior purchase failed to repair the next problem!
