I've found Disk First Aid to be very useful, using it together with 
Disk Warrior. It's not the weak-sister that it used to be before Mac OS 
8.1. It's a very rare occurrence when it comes up with something it 
can't repair (and I've found that when it does, it's frequently 
hardware-related and results in replacing parts).

My job is computer service-and-repair related, so I find myself using 
disk utilities a _lot_...:-)
