My screenshots are always taken with the built in command-shift-4 shortcut, 
which is the freeform screen capture mode (hint: tapping the space bar while 
the camera is over a window automagically selects that window).

Then I use the annotation tools in Preview (which are 10.6+ only, I think, 
sadly) or Graphic Converter to do the annotations on the png. I do this all the 
time for support reasons because a picture is worth endless text and less open 
to interpretation. Grab (in the utilties folder) might let you do the same 
thing.

There's also a FUSE file system for screen captures, so you have a directory of 
images of open windows at all times, but I cannot recall it's name right now.

Quicktime X in 10.6+ also allows you to take screen movies, which is awesome.
