I would like to start running some applescripts at certain times, what alternatives are there for doing the actual scheduling?

I know about:

+   cron (the built-in one) and CronniX

+   FlexTime

+   MacAT

+   Anacron

+   iDo

+   Script Timer

I know nothing about the last 5 and would really like to hear some comments/recommendations.

I use crontab and find it really reliable and powerful. I think there is a way to do this with iCal aswell.. although really, if you know about cron then I'd go with that. That way you can either launch your applescript as an application or embed it in a shell script, which is what i do.
