Personally I don't think there is that much to be gained from buying a defragmenter. Your money would be much better spent upgrading your hardware.

Defragmenting (with the default windows defragmenter) before and after you install software should keep everything running smooth. If you defragment at any other time then all you'll really be doing is defragmenting your temporary files, downloads, documents, music, videos, and anything you work on (images, videos, whatever) none of which will tend to affect performance all that much. It's worth doing it once in a while (exactly how often really depends on how often you add/edit files on your computer) but there's no need to go nuts and do it every week.

BTW, stay away from JKDefrag/MyDefrag.
