Chose MxToolBox
MXToolBox is easier to use probably because I am more familiar with it. I have used DNSStuff several times to compare results, which usually are very similar. The main drawback for DNSStuff is that each tool is a download rather than browser-based, and I would just prefer that …

The site/product is well suited for a quick and free tool to diagnose any first-level external DNS and/or email-related issues. The monitoring tool and reports is a good first line of alerting when an email issue arises, so it can be dealt with in a timely manner, as a free service

It is very well suited for quick speed tests, but it serves its purpose there and nothing else. The software seems to be offline nowadays, but it was useful when it was available.

The main drawback for DNSStuff is that each tool is a download rather than browser-based, and I would just prefer that whatever I am using is as up-to-date as possible. I would tend to uninstall the DNSStuff tools right after using them.
