YES!!! they make life much better, and eaiser. personally, i don’t use it much it AE, maybe for masks and the like… but they are worth their weight in gold for photoshop, illustrator etc.
i am saving for the CintiQ monitor tablet (drool)… it’s going to be a while untill i get that baby though… perhaps as a grad present from my rents.

i highly recommend either particular or 3-d stroke… both are very usefull. Lux is fun, but rather one sided. Sound keys also comes in handy if you are doing things with alot of music.
as the poster above said… download the demos and try em all out.

Just as an update to anyone who read this…
The motion path is quite temperamental when trying to use a path from a live trace. the path that you try to copy into AE must be a single closed path, there can be no open spaces in any of the lettering E.G. the center of an “A.”
what i have found to be much easier is to find a font that you like and create outlines in Illustrator (type>create outlines) for each letter and copy each path individually into AE. however, you may still run into problems with things like A’s and B’s as they have second paths in their centers.
Thanks for the help to those who responded… and if anyone else has any other tips on the matter, you input is always appreciated.

Thanks for your reply Aharon… i’ve watched alot of your tutorials… much appreciated work my friend.
“Not in fron of AE”… what do you mean?
But a LiveTrace path is usable as a motion path, this is very good to know
