What is the BEST Graphics driver out there? Post your favorite!

I have worked with several different graphics drivers, all but the Parallax one being tile driven. I am wanting to expand my Graphics Slave, and I was wondering if there is a more functional Graphics Diver out there? I can take memory loss, as I can always down-grade my serial driver to Simple Serial to fit my purposes. I thought that it would be interesting then, for everyone to post their favorite. They can be tile driven, text driven, draw-capable, etc, or one from every category.
Mine is Andre's HEL GFX engine.

    Personally I'm a big fan of Potatohead's (Doug Dingus) work with the core of AIGeneric and the ORE stuff based on his code.

    Just finished mine.

    Here are the spec's:

    640 x 480 Pixels @ 60 Hz. The driver is a tile driver that has 16 x 16 pixels tiles with·40 x 30 tiles on screen. Each tile can have 3 unique colors.·The driver is able to use the built in propeller ROM font to save space. Using the ROM font you can have 40 x 15 characters on the screen.

    The driver supports a 1 color 16 x 16 pixel mouse cursor·that can be drawn anywhere on the screen.

    Also, built into the driver are functions for everything you would ever need to do!

    Uses 1 Cog.

    I'll take the opportunity to plug my sprite driver (link in my sig)

    240x240 Composite NTSC with a palette of 88 colors out of 172 colors.
    8x8 sprites (yes, sprites with full X&Y positioning)
    2 - 5 cogs (more cogs for more sprites)
