Using Perseus, HP-3586C SLM and soundcard here...all have their advantages.

The sound card (Delta 44) method works extremely well. I use Winrad software for general 
listening/tuning around and SpectrumLab for the capture and data gathering applications. The two can 
be used simultaneously.
The SLM is good for accurate signal strength measurements...and it has a tracking generator output 
which is handy for testing transformers, filters, amplifiers, etc.
Perseus also works well and allows one to record the entire band for later playback and signal 
analysis. It's an excellent addition to the shack for a number of other receiving applications but 
expensive for just VLF work.
