  I use the SPICE supplied with the Pulsonix PCB software I use. It's actually SIMetrix:
  
  www.simetrix.co.uk/
  
  It's excellent, with very good support.

  I use Proteous it has some Parallax MCUs already in it and its pretty cool I think the price is good it also has way more features than I ever use.

  I don't worry about complex processor type simulation but for anything analog and digital logic I use the free and well supported LTSpice as there is even a Yahoo group for it.
  www.linear.com/designtools/software/ltspice.jsp
  
  It's not crippled or anything and even though it's Windows based I have no problem with it running under Wine in Linux.
  
  Have a look at a half-bridge circuit I simulated with it, the LTSpice file is at the end of the page.

  I use LTSpice as well. Tina - TI is a pretty cute little program too.
