I'm starting to study for some Cisco and Juniper cert's what simulator's do you guys use?

Thanks in advance!

GNS3 for Cisco. I have problems trying to run it in Windows and prefer to run in in Linux, but otherwise it is nearly perfect.

Once you have a juniper olive built, you can run it in GNS3 also.

I also suggest Packet Tracer for Cisco configs, it can be helpful

Straight up dynamips/dynagen, no GNS3.
