Root App2SD

So, I am just now getting into using App2SD to speed things up, now that I found a rom I can stick with for a bit, and I have already prepared my SD card. My question is what App2SD app should I get from the market to best take advantage of this? After a quick search I found that there are at least half a dozen apps with 4-4.5 stars. What would you all recommend?
 
So, all these App2SD apps only seem to open the application settings to let you move the app to the SD card, an option that you already have without the aid of an application.

Link2sd ftw. Has an option to automatically link apk + lib and dalvik to your sdext partition.
Keep in mind that you will have to partition your sdcard using cwm before using Link2sd (so backup your card as it erases everything during the format).
Once partitioned (recommend 1gb) and rebooted, Link2sd will ask what partition to create. Choose ext4. Then reboot. Then you can use the app. Check the settings for auto linking of newly installed apps.

Good luck!
 
Thanks, homes, I'll give it a whirl :)


EDIT: Well that worked better than I thought. I have every user app moved to the SD card and linked, and then set it to automatically link new apps when I DL them. I now am only using 87mb and have 158 free in the "services" tab in the apps :)
 
I've also used dtapp2sd, but found it pretty sluggish on our phones, so I stick with Link2sd myself.
