Bits on Wheels

Fast and only native Mac OSX Bittorrent client. It has a couple of options and some nice eyecandy, but is still in developmental stages.

Azureus

You might know this from Windows. It's a very much configurable client and can be customized even more by downloading plugins. It does go heavy on your CPU.

Tomato Torrent

Tomato is a very simple, nice looking client. If you don't want to configure very much, this is a good choice.

Bittorrent

The official client: very simple, but looks nice and works fast.

BitTornado

BitTornado is a simple client based on the official BitTorrent client. Its command-line scripts use fewer resources than many other Mac BitTorrent clients; when combined with the screen utility, BitTornado can be a quite effective BitTorrent client.

Transmission

Transmission is a client written from scratch in C that aims to be as efficient as possible. *** Caveat: Transmission is banned from few private trackers due to a 'feature' that hammers the trackers and messes up the ratio. [1]. ***
