There are numerous Twitter clients for the iPhone, including some that are strictly web-based. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that they're pretty much all the same with a few exceptions...and those few exceptions come down to personal preference in functionality, usability, and UI.
I would say that most have the same functionality, but they differ on implementation of that functionality and the arrangement of the UI elements that deliver that functionality.
All pretty much have multi-account support, search functionality, favorites tagging and viewing, direct messaging and viewing of DMs, ability to search for tweets from nearby Twitterers within a various radii, ability to view the Twitter public timeline, and view trends in Twitter.
Right now, I'm partial to Tweetie as it has all the above functionality but has different choices of themes so that it can provide different look & feel.
The other Twitter client I'm looking at is Twitterific Premium, which has all the above features but implements them differently and has a different UI. Again, it's really personal preference as to which works better for you. I happen to use Tweetie as it was recommended by other people and it is the benchmark that I use to gauge other Twitter clients.
