As almost all the translations I do are in Word format, I like Wordfast. The second kind of format I translate is Power Point, but I use ppt Helper. Both are simple, cheap and easy to use tools, but enough for a high quality job.
Trados is a little more complicated (I tested it, I didn't buy it), but if you work for translation agencies, think that many of them ask you to use Trados. Anyway, you can export and import TM from Trados to Wordfast.
On the other hand, many agencies ask you a discount for repetitions. But this is another story...
