Most are new to me, so I'll have to experiment to see which ones work best. Akismet has been doing a stellar job for me, but I’ll consider one or two back ups just in case.

The best defense against spam is to have something customized on your blog, even if it's simple.

The latest features include rudimentary trackback blocking and a nice admin configuration panel. And it's transparent. Turn it on, configure it for "delete," make sure it's working, and kiss your moderation queue goodbye. Your visitors won't even notice.

I don't have the time to check my blog for spam everyday, so I turn the moderation feature OFF in wordpress, and I always have. The only problem is, I get so few comments on my blog that aren't spam, I'd rather just be notified via email when someone makes a comment to my blog, but i have no idea how to do all that? I just use bad behavior and askimet, and both those together work fine for me, I haven't noticed any comment spam in forever after installing those two, except I am getting tired of spammers signing up for new user accounts, wordpress needs to do something about that.
