@MON4K0 - Hello, this is a great answer with a link to some great resources! However, it's customary here to give at least 24 to 48 hours before you answer your own question. This gives other users in the community an opportunity to answer your question. We definitely encourage people to answer their own questions as described in the FAQ. – jmort253 Mar 22 '11 at 3:15

Our host, Joel on Software, sells FogBugz which I have used for that purpose. It can track tasks, not just bugs.

As for web application alternative: We've been using Manymoon for medium-complex projects For small projects works very well Freedacamp

First one is quite good, includes PM and simple CRM in one place. Now they are a part of SalesForce, but anyway it is worth to try Second one is pretty simple, comfy and FREE! Allows to add task in a second, have discussions, file storage, time tracking, invoicing. We love it for its simplicity!

I would recommend you Jira + Greenhopper plugging http://www.atlassian.com/software/greenhopper . You can create tasks, subtasks, estimations ...etc. Also, it has a section when you can create graphs an reports of any kind.
