Scheduling Tweets

I want to be able to schedule tweets. What's the best utility to use?
I edit a twitterzine and it would be convenient to be able to set up tweets ahead of time instead of having to get up early every weekday to post the work I've accepted for that day. I am aware of twaitter, futuretweet and hootsuite but I don't know how to choose between them. Are any of them superior to the others? I don't plan to use anything except the "schedule tweets" capability.

Pluggio is another good one. Worked well for me though I no longer use it (no need for the features).

Best answer: hootsuite is probably overkill for what you need, but its scheduling feature is very easy to use and the interface is generally good. You can schedule months in advance; you can request email notification when the tweets send; and edit the scheduled tweets before they send. To do the last thing, you need to set up a column in your interface for pending tweets, but that's fairly simple. As far as I could tell, there was no limit to how many days in advance you could schedule a tweet, nor a limit to how many pending tweets you could have.

I think hootsuite has great functionality but I hate using my browser for twitter.
