What's the best screenshot app for Windows?

I've made the full time switch to Windows and need a way to capture screenshots and recordings. Annotation is a bonus!

Great for screenshots/screencasting fragments or entire web pages with the ability to annotate and edit in the browser, post-screenshot.
