I've been using aptitude for a while now.  I seem to remember reading
somewhere (Debian Sarge upgrade notes?) that it's recommended over
apt-get now because of its improved dependency handling.  The
interactive version is also very useful.

That said, I don't think it has an equivalent to apt-get source, so in
that instance I still use apt-get.
