The first one I ever used for file-sharing was Napster. Back then I was on dial-up and my online activities were limited to chatting, emailing and looking for music online, mainly mainstream rock, metal and R&B. Napster was decent for my dial-up (which sucked). After it got outlawed, I was hooked into Morpheus. It was fast, and it always had whatever I searched. The users back then were online most of the time, so there was no problem in downloading files. After 2 years of use, it downloaded a software I needed and brought My-Doom with it, which basically ATE my comp.
After getting a new one, I tried Kazaa. It was good initially, but it kept freezing my comp badly many times, and also downloaded spyware into my comp (so my anti-virus said). Also I usually didnt find what I looked for, so I removed it.
I am using BitTorrent now. Although a bit different than other P2P thingys, it is a decent enough one, esp if one want to DL movies and gaming stuff. But I ll always have a special place for Morpheus. It was faithful and quick for me.
Havent heard about Ares. Will check it out sometime.
