Best software for remapping - OSX

I'd like to remap F keys on my Filco to the standard OSX media functions (volume up/down, spaces, eject, etc). I'd also like to set that useless Menu key as FN.

I found these programs for remapping keys on OSX:
- DoubleCommand http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/;
- KeyRemap4MacBook http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/index.html;
- fKeys http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/f ... -8736.html.

So could anyone suggest me which one should I get?

Check out also controllermate, not sure if it does 100% remapping btw

Autohotkey works for me!

Isn't Autohotkey for windows only?

There's also Ukelele, which I haven't got into the guts of but liked the look of. Keyremap seems to get lots of recommendations though. I've still got Spark running on Snow Leopard - basic but it does the job I need so just left it there...

I tried Keyremap, that worked just fine for F-keys. I couldn't swap Tab to FN though: remapping is limited to some default option, you're not really free to remap any key the way you want.
