Rocketdock is the one I use. Have been using it since XP. Pretty easy to set up and customize. My only recommendation is to find an icon pack that goes with your theme to use instead of the standard windows icons. Just to give it all some cohesiveness.
I find contextual icons to be really good for icon docks. For instance, if you look on mine, in the middle bar, you know which icons are my documents, downloads, pictures, music, etc.
I didn't have any more relevant icons in the particular pack, but it's good enough for me. The best thing about it is you don't have to mouse over to see the text. You just go straight there.
I'll definitely be looking into finding a contextual icon pack with a wider scope to help fill out some of the other stuff.
It makes a pretty big difference for me.
