quicksilver is a must...its kinda like spotlight but its faster. you have a quick key to access it and you start typing the name of an app, and it pulls the app up faster than going through your HD.

adium is a great IM client.

appzapper is great for removing programs.

toast is great for burning...

there are others obviously, but those come to mind

If you are getting Leopard as OS then there's no need to use Quicksilver. Spotlight is really fast just use that default function instead. (cmd + space)
