Many posts on this forum mention tools but some are self promoting. I just want to compile a list of sites where one can use to obtain SEO/competitive intelligence insights? (Better if there are free ones out there).
For starters, I like using Google's AdWords and Google's Trends.
What do you use?

Wow, that is a good list. Thanks. I will also add using quantcast to get a glimpse of behavioral demographics and keywords that drive traffic to other sites.

To analyze my competition, I rely on SEO Elite. For keyword research, I use the free Google keyword suggestion tool. When it comes to analyzing stats, Google Analytics is the best tool out there.

I've used quantcast before as well, but I didn't really care too much for it. I like analytics, but I really like webclicktracker.com, it gives you tons of information you can use for sales leads and such.

All of the tools are excellent but at the end of the day, you would be launching your browser and then manually check your rankings in the search engines.
