Although not free, I really dig FeedDemon (
http://www.feeddemon.com). Before I
started using FeedDemon, I used NetNewsWire (
http://www.ranchero.com) on the
Mac. Interestingly enough, NewsGator (
http://www.newsgator.com) now owns them
both and has already implemented synchronization with one's NewsGator web
account with FeedDemon. NetNewsWire sync support is coming down the pipe. If you
use Outlook you can get a NewsGator plugin to read your feeds inside Outlook.
A good free RSS reader for Windows/Mac/Linux is RSSOwl (
http://www.rssowl.org),
which supports a ranking system called AmphetaRate which seems to hold some promise.
Both Thunderbird and Mozilla have some integration with RSS, but it's never
really worked to my tastes. I like the idea behind BlogLines, but I've found it
doesn't work too well with the internal RSS feeds my employer uses, and it's
updates lag a bit behind real-time.
For other Windows clients, there's the free SharpReader
(
http://www.sharpreader.net) and the commercial NewzCrawler
(
http://www.newzcrawler.com).
