Utility Software comparisons?

1. Is a combination of Puran free & Auslogics defragger comparable to Perfect Disk.....in terms of being free wares, less bloated & performing the same jobs of boot time, metadata, page file etc?

2. Zoom Player Home max, VLC & Windows Media?.. can they run without conflicts & run most media formats?

3. Can Ashampoo Suite & Image Burn burn most files & are they both comparable to Nero?

Thanks.
