You don't normally have much choice on a given system.
Anyway, this tends to be a "religious" issue like the one about
which text editor is best.
"pi" is better than all the ones you mention, but you're unlikely
to have it available.  (There is a version available for use with
downloaded DMD or MTG processes.)
SGI provides "edge" on the 4D Irix systems.  It's comparable to
the source-level debuggers you find in PC environments.
I often resort to "adb" when it's available, primarily in order to
avoid complications when getting at the real machine code.
