I LOVE CrankyAds because it is so easy to change creatives and links – either yourself or to let your ad buyers do it themselves.
I also use it to do some really fancy rotations. This reminds me I need to edit my Advertise page that CrankyAds generates for me. Being able to do that is a HUGE benefit, too.
