No secret answer here: eSignal, Tradestation seem to be the market leaders here.
I think you'll get many on here who disagree with this statement and this will probably turn into more of a religious debate than anything else. I can say from my personal experience that MetaStock Pro is one of the best charting softwares I have used. I'm sure others will disagree but that is just my opinion. It is limited in that you'll have a hard time automating trades from MetaStock to a broker. If you need that functionality there are other solutions out there. If you are looking for great charting and in highly customizable environment then take a look at MetaStock Pro in your evaluations. Good luck.
I use NeoTicker. 
Shameless self promotion here.

I've tried out 5 of the charting services listed over the years (at great cost of time, money and energy to myself).
And for my money, no one beats Quotetracker for intraday-trading.
Good Luck.

yes I've heard MetaStock pro is also good. Seems like he is right it is a religious debate as they are all good.
