Which of the following tools do you use when making technology decisions for your startup, e.g which of competing software packages to use? Do you have any other to add? What would you like to see in this space?

I usually use the various options for a contrived test case or two, hack together a quick trade study, and pick something that meets my needs. Not so possible with hardware or closed-source though...

The background is that after doing some thorough evaluations (and debriefings) for my last startup, I thought this must be re-done over and over by founders. So I'm considering making some kind of for-pay info-product aimed at tech founders. Also looking for authors ;)
