I've also been testing Intego's Personal Backup X4, while we're waiting for SD to hatch. I corresponded with Intego tech support, who assured me that their cloning engine preserves all metadata, hard links, permissions, etc.
So far, my Leopard initial/incremental clones seem to be very solid, and the Intego UI is actually pretty slick. The downside is cost for this app. I agree that giving props to developers who are working hard to support the Mac community is a good thing. I'll be looking forward to the new SD like everyone else.
