I've been using TightVNC for a few weeks without complaint, but I'
wondering if any of the other VNC packages (RealVNC, UlttraVNC,
TinyVNC, et al) are superior in any way.

Haven't tried TightVNC or RealVNC, but I'm using UltraVNC (and its
"Single Click" feature) and IMHO it's great.

I'm happy with RealVNC. I use it on over 200 systems here at work, no
issues that I can think of.
 
1) Realvnc is no longer free (server)
2) Ultra VNC supports encryption (real vnc does not out of the box only with
a plugin)
3) Ultra VNC supports resizing of the window (shrink)
4) UltraVNC supports file transfer

I have used several versions and I prefer Ultra.

There is a free license. It is also so cheap it's not far off being free @
£16ish per seat.

RealVNC supports AES without any plugins.

3) Ultra VNC supports resizing of the window (shrink)

RealVNC supports window resizing with or without aspect ratio locking.

4) UltraVNC supports file transfer

RealVNC 4.2 has just been released with file transfer.

Can you tell I like RealVNC? ;-)
