I've only used 3, but I've used it a _lot_ (we use it at work, surprise).
I would totally recommend Googletest, together with gMock.  While the
framework takes a little getting used to (so many macros), it is quite
powerful and flexible, and not hard to use.  I'm also willing to help
out if you have questions (but I might be on the other side of the
planet).
