AutoTweet NG Pro
The developer offers superlative support. Be careful with setting up your own facebook and twitter apps. The documentation from the developer is good but things like app names tripped an inexperienced person such as myself up in facebook.
The advantage of the pay version is the extra plugins and the ability to configure extra channels.

showplus
This extension fulfilled my need for a replacement for RokSlideShow. This ia actually better. It pays to read absolutly all the documentation (which I did not). The trick for customization is that the author uses a compressed version of the css (min.css) in production mode and regular css in debug.
His support is good enough so I sent him a donation.

J2XML
I have rarely been as pleased with an initial test of a component. I moved several hundred articles between Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.6 including embedded pictures. Initial testing suggests that it worked like a charm. The coding appears strong and the interface excellent. Tip to users, look at the OPTIONS and set them before trying to use it. AND THINK ABOUT THE OPTIONS.
Strongly recommended.

SermonSpeaker
This is highly recommended for any Joomla-based church site. It generates good RSS feeds. Support via the forum is excellent. This is a very useful contribution.

Admin-User-Access (free)
This product does precisely what it says. If you are not willing to wait and experiment with 1.6, this is a useful extension. Support is excellent.

DOCman
I have been using docman on a lot of sites for a number of years. It is wonderful that it has gone native (in a positive sense). I will be grateful when they get autopopulate up to standard. The price is an incredible bargain.
Phoca Gallery
This is an excellent extension that is challenged by very HI-res graphics on many installations because of memory limitations in the server impelmentation of the GD library. This, otherwise excellent product, could benefit with some workarounds for that problem.

Component as Content
I wanted to link to Kunena on a content page. It works fine when first loaded but if the user hits one of the tabs, the component as content box refreshes showing the complete header of the site (that is everything that would show if I hit a menu item for the forum). Suggests or a work around would be appreciated. Otherwise, this shows lots of potential.

JEvents
This works as documented. I have also used it with some success with attend events.

Place Here module
This will be one of my must-have components for a transition of several sites to Joomla 1.5. The only warning with the component is that a disconcertingly large number of temporary content items are created if you use the merge option to merge content from several items.

This is a really useful product and should be included in the core.
