Sorry without the first paragraph the paragraph below seems rather well oblivious to answering your question. I would say the GUIMINER, which I believe you are currently is probably the best. It has a nice interface, but I wish it had a bit more of the cutesy little thing I saw in the video of a pickaxe hammering out a nice gold coin. Apparently I have been playing a lot of mining games lately, Minecraft, Terraria, Infniminer, and now I'm mining bitcoins, and I'm a minor so... I'm a minor, mining in games, and using a computer to mine virtual currency while completing transactions so thus I should either be an accountant, a game designer, or a miner. I choose computer scientist.

I'm thinking about making a miner that is graphical, because I'd love to see a gui miner that actually have a neat little video that displays mining out a coin even if it has no visual representation of what is actually happening. I always thought that was kind of neat in the video. Then again I enjoy playing an extremely old board game so what do I know?

There's really no other alternative other than BitMiner (which I might add, is VERY buggy) and maybe phoenix rising if you use phoenix.

The new version of GUIminer is great because it supports Pheonix now.
It has almost all of the top miners.  I don't see much reason to not use it (if you're on a Windows box).
