STLport has a wonderful debug mode that helps find errors in the use of STL 
(e.g., dereferencing past-the-end iterators and such).  I also know that some 
users prefer to use STLport because it is a common library platform and they 
can be sure their code will port to other compilers/architectures (that may 
otherwise have different standard library implementations).
