I've been mind-mapping for several years and my personal favourite is MindJet Mind Manager. Unfortunately this is not a cheap product (and each upgrade costs more), so I tend to stick with XMind which is free and is really easy to use.

I've used the paid version of XMind but found that for what I need (my mind maps tend to get complex), the free version works just as well.

I've managed to convert quite a few people to using mind maps and have run several training/introduction sessions on it, and would be happy to help anyone looking to get started.
