I've only used MC out of them and it is so good at what it does I've never had reason to look for anything else. I will have to take a look at some of the others though as they could be quite useful.

I'm with Dai. Of console file managers, I've never used anything but mc. It works fantastically, so never found a need to try anything else. Although I do prefer Dolphin in a gui...

I have used MC quite a bit when I'm in the CLI but use whatever the current OS has for GUI file managing. I don't have need for samba/nfs or any other M$ file sharing capabilities so whatever file manager is supplied is more than adequate for my needs and providing it can copy and move files that's about as much as I usually need.
I also use FileZilla for remote files (ftp)
