Which SSH client do you use?
I am looking at a few SSH clients, but can't decided which one I want to use. Trying to get some feedback here on which one you guys found to be the most beneficial?

Putty is the way to go on Windows -- it is always just a 10 second free download away. OpenSSH is the way to go on Linux since it should pretty much always be there already. SecureCRT was very popular for Windows but I think has largely been displaced by Putty since Putty is free and SecureCRT is not.
If you are transferring files I would recommend FileZilla. http://filezilla-project.org/
It supports FTP, FTP over SSL/TLS (FTPS) and SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)

"smarterm essential" is a very matured and all in one client software.
download and enjoy the benefit.
My "go to" solutions are Putty on my Windows desktop,the regular ssh client on my (Linux) laptop, and ConnectBot on my mobile (Android).
Are there specific features you are looking for?
I like putty, quick to download, easy to use. I use type ssh on the command line on the Mac (OS X).
I like Putty as well.
Putty is good for just SSH access - but an excellent tool I found is from www.ssh.com - which provides the ssh client for command-line needs as well as the SSH FTP client. You can run multiple windows off the original session or new sessions - is very handy for uploading files as root and then doing command-line..
I use FileZilla as well. It has an annoying frequency of software updates requiring download and re-install. Otherwise it works well.
