I'm currently using the HDR converter in PS CC, and am not terribly happy with results.
Can you recommend the best free standing programs?

I usually just manually blend the images by hand since I"m always after natural results and just use HDR for improved DOF, but I used to always use HDR Efex Pro. I liked it better than Photomatix. Photomatix is a stand alone program and HDR Efex Pro is a plug-in for photoshop, but I found it creates more natural images for me and is easier to work with.

I prefer Nik. There are other options out there too like Machinery and Oloneo. Most offer fully functional demos you can download, they either stop working after a certain number of days or put a watermark on the final image, but it's great to be able to try before you buy.
