What is the recommended way to hook Win32 APIs for a commmercial application?

What is your recommendation for an API hooking library or code to be used in a commercial application?

I have looked at Microsoft Detours which seems to be very good, but definitely is out of budget for the profit I am expecting out of my application.

Is there any library that offers compatibility across WinXP and Vista (and Windows 7 if not too much to ask!)? Is there anyone with past experience in using such a library in a commercial product?

You could also try NCodeHook lib (http://newgre.net/ncodehook), it is free and small.

What are you trying to do? is patching the import table sufficient? i've used a variation of http://jpassing.wordpress.com/2008/01/06/using-import-address-table-hooking-for-testing/ for some fun side projects at home.
