Scythe Ninja, Thermaltake Big Typhoon, Thermalright Si-120/XP-120, and Sunbeam Tuniq Tower. I think I missed some though...

Scythe Ninja or Tuniq Tower, the Tower is the best, but I'd rather have a Ninja.

I have the stock 2 heatpipe cooler that came with my Opteron 165 retail. I hear the 4 pipe is even better, but this one's pretty good. They go fairly cheap on Ebay (~20). I'm thinking about getting a Ninja w/ fan since at 2.5 GHz I get over 55C on the stock cooler.

RM, I think you missed the Freezer64 in your sig, that's a good one too I've read. :)

With AS5, it keeps my skt754 3700+ at 30C idle. (the freezer)

Scythe Mine works on both AM2 and LGA775, so I would probably go for that. With a fan, it performs on par with the Ninja.

The Freezer 64 Pro, Scythe Katana and Thermalright Ultra-90 are good for people on a budget. They don't perform quite as well as those that I listed previously though.
