Main Menu, a product with which I am unfamiliar, I would recommend any or all of the ones on your list

Main Menu
by BeatleMegaFan - 7/8/08 7:31 PM In reply to: maintenance application? by fluxusI use Main Menu for basic maintenance, and it works fine. It is quite simple to use. Everything is categorized accordingly, and I don't think that you will end up destroying something with it. When you download it, opening it introduces a new icon on the menu bar. The whole app is accessed through it. I find it very helpful for re-building my Spotlight Index and cleaning out caches, etc. Works just as it should. Last I checked, it is free. Good luck with it, if you choose it.

To be honest

User cache is probably for the user and system is for the system. I don't know how much detail I need to go in here. 
Why do you want to erase your caches?

Main Menu
by 1travlr - 7/8/08 9:56 PM In reply to: maintenance application? by fluxusI have been using it for quite a while now and find it to work well for me. As BMF said, It does what it is supposed to. I believe it is still freeware. It has worked well enough for me to donate to their cause
Maintenance apps I've used successfully...
by happypick - 7/19/08 12:04 AM In reply to: maintenance application? by fluxusHi, Fluxus and all,
I've used both the free Onyx and Main Menu apps successfully for several years on both my Macs, and both of these maintenance apps are free from http://www.versiontracker.com as well as no doubt other sites - be sure to check your OS X to make sure you download the correct app version, since each of my Macs uses a different version of both.
Cheers,
HappyPick
