I've had really good experiences with the N3FJP programs, both for contests and general logging (ACLog). They are not free--$15 for general logging, $60 for all contests and future programs), but the developer is an active ham who will answer your emails and has an active Yahoo group. I find them much more intuitive and straightforward than the DXLab suite.
I would also suggest perusing the Ham Software reviews on eHam.net to get an idea of how people like the various programs out there.
For sophisticated contest work, N1MM+ is king, but the N3FJP programs do 90% of what MM does with a much easier interface.
