MySQL tools on Mac OS X are between cumbersome and lame, between anemic and sigh. I’ve used them all. Still looking for a good one.
Navicat: loads of features, highly confusing user interface, crashes often, cannot import MySQL DBs. Go figure. SSH and tunneling are nice, as is data transfer from DB to DB, remote to remote (nice). Support for such an expensive and frequently upgraded commercial app should be better.
Querious: few features (it’s new), very nice user interface, no SSH, rapid response from developer.
SQL Pro: still beta after all these years, anemic interface, no SSH, not too stable.
phpMyAdmin: ubiquitous, limits of PHP configuration, web browser interface.
Other Mac MySQL clients are more forgettable.
I tend to run with a combination of Navicat, command line, and phpMyAdmin. Navicat’s feature set on Querious with some additional stability would be nice.

I still use Sequel Pro (the successor to CocoaMySQL) since Querious only connects to MySQL version 5+ databases, which means I’d have to change apps when connecting to a MySQL 4.1 server, bleh.

Me too. Sticking with Sequel Pro for now. Does everything I need and does it really well. Can’t ask for more really 😉

Querious does SSH natively now. If you don’t need to access MySQL < 5, it’s the one to go with in my view - much faster, more stable and less buggy than Navicat or Sequel Pro.
On a side note, even in apps that don’t support ssh in the interface, you can always set up the tunnel using the terminal:
ssh -N username@serveraddress -L 8888:127.0.0.1:3306
Then connect to 127.0.0.1 via the MySQL client using your database username/client on port 8888
