Personally hosts file are better in my book because they also block it for other programs not just your browser.
I just use HostsXpert by funkytoad along with Homer (made by the same guy), if you don't like Homer you can use edexter too.
Mostly i use MVPS.org and hostsfile.mine.nu/ for my hosts file
I never even see commercials on hulu and there is no delay. (Oh yeah you know spybot s&d it's immunization process makes uses hosts file too)
To me noscript is kind of stupid why not just change the settings on your browser to have trust sites and then every other site to have strict settings because that all that no script is, a nice ui to change settings for a website that is quick to do, I just find it annoying it popping up all the time etc.
