Photomatix is what I would go with. If you have photoshop you can emulate Topaz pretty much to the T using a combination of Highlight/Shadow Adjustment and Hue/Saturation.

i've got topaz. i don't do much hdr work. yes, you can do everything topaz does by just tweaking settings but i get lazy some times and would rather have a quick way of doing it.
