I've worked with all three.    Access PC is the best.  DosMounter is 
by
far the most picky and I recommend you avoid it.  Any disk formatted
with DOSMounter frequently  is not readable by actual PCs.  Mac-PC
Exchange is similar to Access PC yet is not as robust in translation;
Yet you get to pat extra for the pretty Apple Logo, more than Access PC.

I've been happy with Access PC.
