I highly recommend gnome-do. Once you start using it you can't live without it. Plus Docky has potential to replace AWN once it gains more features.

I use cairo-dock right now but i hear alot about gnome-do and iv'e used it b4 and it is REALLY good. Just a preference of mine was cairo.And as suggested above gnome-look does have some cool stuff if your using gnome desktop.

Learning how to make GTK themes is an interesting and fun experience!
