INITPicker by Microseeds is a great INIT/cdev for managing INITs.
Version 2, due shortly, should be even better, as it has a special
"bomb protection" feature where is senses an INIT conflict and will
not load the INIT which would cause the bomb. This is, of course, 
only a partial solution because the conflict could be caused by 
something else entirely. Still, it is a great product. version 2
will also let you name several INIT sets which can be assigned a 
character so that when you boot you can load a particular set of INITs
by holding down the character. For example, a minimal set of INITs
might be named "minimal" and have a keyboard equivalent of "m". 

INITPicker allows the reordering of INITs without renaming them. The
user interface is completely intuitive and fast.

I have no affiliation with Microseeds except I think that the product is
so indispensable that it should be Apple system software.
