I use this tool all the time for theoretical ship fitting and skill planning.

EveHQ is a nice one to keep around.
http://evehq.battleclinic.com/
It's a "jack of all trades -- master of none" type program. It's got pretty much everything you could want, but it's not really "the best" at most of them.
It does skill training, fitting management, asset management, maps (system info and route calculators), agent databases, wormhole info, POS builder, and pretty much everything else you can think of. You'll want to keep EveMon and EFT around probably, but EveHQ is a pretty good one-stop.

I don't think that it is any one tool that is useful. It is the combined usage of a few tools for the game.
I'm would say that for the time you have to invest in setting them up. The two most useful tools that are a must have in the Eve Toolbelt are EvEMon and EveFit.
EVEMon by Battle Clinic lets you keep track of your character and plan out your training for a very long time. You shouldn't have any reason to never have a skill traning or something that you want to train when you are using EveMon. [EVEMon]
Eve Fit lets you test fits for ships and how your character would preform in one of those ships. This tool is invaluable and will save you a bunch of ISK on buying ships that your character really can't use effectivly because you don't have the right skills. It will also help you figure out what skills you should be training to make the ship as effective as it should be. [Eve Fit]
If you can master these two tools you will do better than you would without.

EVEMon
From http://evemon.battleclinic.com/
EVEMon is a lightweight, easy-to-use standalone Windows application designed to assist you in keeping track of your EVE Online character progression. You can view your current skills and attributes, what you're currently training, and your ISK balance. EVEMon can track multiple characters across multiple accounts, so all your alts can be monitored through the same, simple interface.
You can also plan your future character progression, by setting up a skill training plan; or even just play "what if" with detailed listings of all skills and training times. Put Learning skills into your training plans and the times adjust automatically. EVEMon will even look over your plans for you and suggest Learning skills to reduce your overall training time!
EVEMon can save your character information in XML format, or as a text file. Your skill plans can be saved as EMP (EVEMon Plan File), XML, or text formats; and can easily be shared with other EVEMon users for easy skill build suggestions and sharing. EVEMon automatically adds or removes skills from the plan when a plan file is loaded by another user as appropriate to fulfill skill prerequisites, or to remove skills the user already knows.
When your character's currently training skill completes, EVEMon can notify you with your choice of a desktop tray balloon, a sound effect, or even an email sent automatically. Your skill plans will automatically update to account for the newly completed skill, as well!

EvE Fitting Tool is a very good program, mostly because you load your limited API into the program and you can set up fittings for your characters and know that they will be cap stable and usable.
