In my opinion, PalSuite is much easier and cleaner for actually creating/editing the palette, although TilesetPal is probably easier for applying it to your image. If I remember correctly, TilesetPal is a bit less stable too, from my experience, although nothing too serious.
@snz: If you're going to use MSPaint, I think you might as well just get GIMP. Everything you do on Paint can also be done on GIMP, plus so much more. The only exception I can think of is saving directly as a 256 color bitmap. Plus, GIMP can do so much more, and it's also free.
On a side note, I also occasionally draw with Inkscape, another freeware drawing program. It's similar to Photoshop, and is probably a bit nicer for drawing new stuff than GIMP. However, Inkscape most naturally uses vectors, while GIMP's pixel based, which makes GIMP much easier for editing in my opinion.
