PowerStrip does have the added option of positioning the Windows desktop (handy to correct for the extra pixels). That said, is there any reason NOT to use PowerStrip, in terms of conflicts? From what I can tell, CRU is a run-once-set-and-reboot app, while PowerStrip can be set to load and adjust settings when Windows boots (that's how I set it).

You don't need to use both, but they can be used together because they work differently. CRU tells the video driver what resolutions to use with the monitor, while PowerStrip talks to the video card directly using its own driver.
