I have just been using Steam/Fraps/EVGA precision, just remember to capture BMP or PNG for fraps as the JPEGs Fraps/EVGA captures are complete shit, overly compressed. You can always use a photo editing program to convert the lossless files to high quality JPEGs like I do for smaller files. Steam is ok but if you look closely you can see artifacting in certain spots, it's roughly = to a photoshop JPEG at 9 quality compression. I compress my BMP screens to 10 usually which gives the best quality to file size ratio IMO, you can do 12 if you don't want any visible image degradation even for a close inspection.
Here is a comparison of Steam, recompressed FRAPS BMP to 10 JPEG and 12 JPEG and FRAPS JPEG
