As they all do different things, a side by side review might not be as helpful as you expect. That said, the benefits of otherwise of different add-ins are regularly discussed on StackOverflow[^].

Personally the ones I use the most are Visual Assist[^] (syntax colouring, better intellisense and fast source code navigation), IncludeManager[^] (C++ include file visualisation), VSFileFinder[^] (fast location of files within a solution) and Visual Lint[^] (C++ static analysis).

Visual Lint is my pet product, so that's a bit of a special case of course! Shucks | :-\
