Best tool for simple competitor research

Hi guys I am starting a small business SEO program and I have been looking into using a tool to do a simple analysis of a client's competitors.

Basically I want to do a one-off analysis at the start of the program to see what high PR links their competitors have. I know of a few tools but I don't know which one is the best for producing a really simple list of inlinks in order of PR (all juice passing).

I've seen a tool on the WSO forum which shows the data from Google but I'm guessing this data is pretty limited. I think Market Samurai does it but I believe it doesn't discern between follow and no follow links. I have tried SEO Spyglass but it seems clunky and inconsistent.

I know SEO Moz does it but it's $100 / month which is too much for me.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

You can use SearchStatus or Spy-Glass softwares to find a list number of a back links which highlights nofollow links, shows PageRank, shows Alexa rank, and provides links to some backlink information.

Hi guys I checked out searchstatus, turned out I already had it but it doesn't do what I want. i.e. I can see it can show backlinks to a domain but it just opens up Google or yahoo site explorer - neither of which will sort the incoming links in order of PR or indicate whether they are follow or no follow. I'm going to get back into SEO Spy Glass now.
