I've tried a few different ones, and here's what I've found.

KDE - resource hog
FVWM95 - not bad, basically looks just like Win95
WindowMaker - very nice, a bit large resource-usage-wise
Sawmill - *very* nice, very configurable, but just too slow
Blackbox - quite nice, smallest of the lot as far as resource usage,
            what I currently use, pretty minimal as far as what's
            on screen

But really, it all comes down to what each person likes.  It's
easy enough to try 'em all, that I'd reccomend you do just that.
Start trying out the different window managers - what one person
might dislike about one someone else might really like.
