It depends on what do you want. If you want a software, that emulates a 
(very good)standard-amp with a set of standard-effects plus a convolver 
guitarix would be (and is actually) my first choice.
If you need more FX, Rakarrack could be better. But to be perfectly 
honest: in the end it is a matter of personal taste. Guitarix can do 
perfectly the same as Rakarrack.

Guitarix has made profound progress in the last 6 months. A recent 
version can produce any sound one would expect from a real amp from the 
pro-league. If you apply impulse-responses from a sound, you can have 
virtually any sound with it.
But emulation of existing sounds is nice, if you like such tricks. Much 
more important for me is, that Guitarix takes the signal from my guitars 
very very similar as a real amp does. Given you use a 
middleclass-interface like the instrument-in of a MAudio mobile pre or a 
simple mixer and a envy24-card you can actually sweep from slightely 
overdrive clean-sounds to crushing distortion by using the volume-wheel 
on the guitar. All the finery in playing guitar-strings from sweet low 
caressing to most brutal strumming shred is preserved. This is a feature 
I miss in most other digital modeling solutions.
It shall not sound "good" it shall sound like me ;-)
