Is Ultimate Boot CD still the best, or is there a better USB tool?

[The Mad Atheist]

Doing a laptop reinstall and looking for a USB boot tool also with a disk partition manager like MiniTool's Partition Warzard.
Was wondering if Ultimate Boot CD is still good?

Haven't used this myself yet, but my mentor told me about this thing. Looks pretty loaded

I used Hiren's not long ago and it's nice. Doesn't seem to have the partitioning tool you're looking for but it has 5 others

Plop Boot Manager is pretty good, but I don't know how well their partition tool works. Probably basic, and seems to only support MBR anyway.

Edit: PBM6 is under development, and the efi version has support planned for gpt formatted disks, not started yet afaik. Looks like he's mostly working on Plop Linux right now, and working on the boot managers when he feels like it.

I have a older version of Partition Wizard on CD, but my DVD drive is down and I'm having a time justifying getting a new one.

What, make a USB Partition Wizard stick? I thought they made it, along with the disk cloning feature, a paid service now.
I'll see if I can rip the iso from the library PCs when I get a chance.

It doesn't help when most of my posts have typos and missing words.

Curious what you need the partitioning tool for specifically? Could boot any live linux cd and use gparted? and any OS installers lets you set partitions...

I used PW in the past and loved it.
