Web testing frameworks for ASP.NET web application

I'm trying to implement some front end testing in a ASP.NET web application, and I would like to know how do the several web testing frameworks compare. Especially MSTest's "Web Tests", because I haven't seen a lot of info about them, and since it seems to have a nice integration with Visual Studio.

One important thing to note about the Microsoft Web Tests (with VSTS 2008) is that they are at the HTTP level, not the UI level. They'll work great to test navigation, form submission, and other HTTP calls, but will not test the UI components on a page. This is something important to keep in mind when comparing with other apps such as QuickTest Professional (QTP) which does test at the UI component level.

The much-improved test features of VSTS 2010 will include testing at the UI level.
