I have used each (even worked for Oracle Des 2000 group). I recommend tools
based upon job function as follows:



If you are a



    
  
  1.   data modeller and your deliverables are primarily code and
        first-cut DDL for your DBA, then PowerDesigner 6.1 is best

  
  2.   dba who must manage mutilple databases being consistent
        (i.e. development = test = production), then ERwin 3.0 is best

  
  3.   not sure or both, go with PowerDesigner 6.1






I left off Designer 200 for two reasons. Its big and has a huge learning
curve. The other tools you mention are either limited in comparison or not
production qaulity software.
