There's really only two that I know of.  pbuilder (and variants: 
qemubuilder, cowbuilder, etc.) and sbuild.  ISTR, sbuild is used on the 
buildds, but all my experience is with pbuilder.  I find it incredibly 
flexible when needed but also very easy to get started with a minimum of 
documentation reading.
