I have only used one third party tool -- RedGate SQL Compare and RedGate SQL Data Compare. http://www.red-gate.com These tools have done everything I have needed them to do and they are very straight forward and easy to use.
Good luck!

We use Embarcadero Change Manager with good success. I was pretty impressed with dbghost too.

I have used SqlDIFF by AdeptSql for a few years now. I have used all of the other tools mentioned so far, and like SqlDiff in terms of feature set per dollar. If money is no issue, then by all means go for embarcadero.
Your mileage may vary

I use SQLDBCompare from BestSoftTool and I like it a lot.

xSQL Software has two products sold separately or as a bundle: A database object compare tool (xSQL Object), and a data compare tool (xSQL Data Compare). Both work very well. With the Object Compare software, the user is given a list of objects, and an indicator as to whether they are equal or not. The list includes the source code with the differences highlighted. The user can select which objects to script to make one database like the other, then generate the script.
These are great products, and are reasonably priced.

Jules,
How did you fare in your search? I saw dcpeterson mention Embarcadero with a bunch of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. I wonder if he is referring to their low price? You mentioned you chose RedGate. Did you make a purchase and if so how was the pricing? They portray having a simple solution but it seems that you have to work through layers of different choices to get specific functioanlity. Hope it worked out for you. Thanks.

I have used the Redgate and Embaradero tools - the functionality was similar but I was very impressed with the speed of the Redgate tool - it ran a compare on our databases in about a minute - the other tool took 30 minutes.........
Good luck,
Harley
