I've tried them all (and written+used one of them) and I can say it mostly 
comes down to how much flexibility you want in your disk monitoring vs. how 
much flexibility in you configuration you want/need.

My suggestion: download all three, try them out, see which one appeals to 
you. It shouldn't take more than an hour to get a feel for all 3 programs.

I'm sure other people have their own methods for watching disk space as 
well in mon. I like the host-mib way of doing it though because it is the 
most cross-platform of all the ways I have seen (works on any linux that 
net-snmpd runs on, plus NT/w2k).
