I've used TwinLab's Yeast Fighters, which is basically acidophilus (sp) with a bunch of other stuff, including garlic. It doesn't work immediately (usually takes a full 2 weeks to completely get rid of the infection), but the combination of yeast fighters with an OTC cream treatment (or 2 doses of diflucan, if I can get my hands on it) and cranberry concentrate it's the only thing that truly knocks out a yeast infection for me. Otherwise, any other treatment just knocks it down but not out. I've had enough of them to try truly scientific experimental comparisons, but every woman's chemistry is different.
The other thing is to be sure you take the nutritional supplements for a full 2 weeks and avoid refined sugars in your diet for that time as well, as you'll be particularly susceptible to relapse if you have high sugar content. I also take them if I am on any kind of antibiotic, or if I know I'm going to be in a hot tub.
