NS Pro
Powerful in its simplicity. Readers can subscribe to the newsletter, you can have them confirm or not, select manually to whom you want to send a newsletter, or create lists and send the newsletter in one go. I first tried Acajoom, but it is so complicated that most of my clients got a headache and asked to install something easy to use. NS Pro is understandable to everybody and it doesn't fail.

Frontend-User-Access (free)
I was really amazed that this actually works so perfect. I have 3 license packages on my site and each package has its own set of articles, so a licensee should only get access to those articles and update pages he is entitled to. Yet, he can see menus to pages that are not meant for him.
For the time being, that is great because it might convince him at some point to upgrade to a higher license. However, there will be a point when there is too much content on the site and then I will need the pro version of this wonderful plugin, so that I can hide menus per user group. As you can create as many user groups as you like, you can have many different access levels which do not depend on the traditional member groups like authors, editors etc...
What I find really brilliant is that you do not need to create a new user list, you have access to all the existing registered users and you can assign them to a custom user group. Piece of cake!
Tweetme
What I like about this plugin is its simplicity. However, I really miss the option to turn on and off one of those 3 services. I was not interested displaying the Google service, so I jumped into the code to get that fix and couldn't get it to work after messing around for an hour, so I gave up.Doesn't mean the plugin is bad, but some customization options would be very handy and greatly improve this otherwise nice plugin.

Advanced Social Bookmarker
After testing several plugins for social bookmarking, this is the most versatile one. It is also easy to adapt the css in the php file and I love the fact that you can pick the services you want. Also the options to place certain services at the top is a very good idea.
