I agree with Jeff's opinion of Embarcadero - great stuff. As with most GUI's though, care should be taken, especially if you're a newbie, to check scripts that are generated etc. I found a couple of bugs (one reported, one not) in DBArtisan's script generation. One was relatively harmless but the other scrambled constraints. Tech support said they plan to start listing bugs on the web site, which will be helpful.
ERStudio generates excellent reports in MS Word, HTML and probably other (don't remember) formats. You can customize with checkboxes etc. Also comes with a model viewer which can be distributed. It's a good schema management tool also.
