So what does everyone think is the best program for creating rips, and why?

I always used Deadpaint, because I thought it had the best user interface, which could even be customized. The problems with it were that I'd have to manually remove the "unregistered" text, but that wasn't too hard. The bigger problem was that it would crash a lot, generally the bigger the file, the more often it would crash.

I always thought tombstone artist was sort of clumsy to use, but lots of other people swear by it.. I guess it's the most stable thing out there. What about rippaint? How do tombart and rippaint compare?

For the few rips that I created (and I think I was good for a beginner), I used tombstone artist. I like the interface better than deadpaint's. Maybe it was force of habit :).
I hope the rip scene doesn't die any time soon... I enjoy good rip as much as I enjoy good ansi. I'd go back to doing it again, but I've got too many other friggin' things to do right now :(.

There isn't really a "rip scene." It's all part of the ansi scene, and is just released alongside. That's where the problem is. Personally, I was happy to see Souls pop up, because it showed that someone actually cared about the medium enough to single it out and give others a place to showcase their work in an unpopular medium.
