I prefer aptitude. IMHO, it displays dependencies much nicer than dselect does, using a nice tree structure. It is a bit hard to use, but once you get used to it, it's fine. There's also console-apt (aka capt), but it seems to be worse at handling dependencies. (at least for my tastes) It's a lot faster than dselect, too (at least on my system).
