Candy,One of my customers has used the Varsity bolt-on and is now using the Manhattan bolt-on. Both are expensive and you want to justify costs of buying vs. programming (and having the programmer(s) being the only ones who know how it works-better known as job security). The advantage of the bolt-ons is that they already have the rate shopping and (most) export documentation and UPS/FEDEX labelling already done.
If you have any customers that have specific packing label requirements, those may also be included in the "package". These are usually when you are dealing with the Retail customers (Walmart, Sears, etc.). Like most companies that I have been in, they start with the UPS PC, the Fedex PC and a stack of BOL's.
If you choose to program yourself, the Offline Shipping enhancement is a great place to start. However, if you have and record serialized products in XA, you will have to come up with a way to populate the XA data since the Offline product does not have a function for that. As Dale stated, you will have to write your own front-end (which is a good thing) since you can make it exactly the way you want.
