Functional: Selenium

Perfromance: Jmeter

 

But, the real question is for what purpose do you want a tool? There's a wide variety of tools in the market. Selection of right tool for the job depends on lot of factors like

the project requirements

does it fit in your existing environment?

do you have technical knowledge to use is or have enough resources to train your team to use it?

is it cost effective?

While choosing the automation tool, keep in your mind what kind of testing you're going to do. If you're going to create unit tests, you can choose any of NUnit or mbUnit frameworks. For its native integration with Visual Studio try MSTest. If you need user interface testing automation then Selenium is probably the best known tool. On the other hand, it is also has some disadvantages due to the point of being unusable with IE6. Generating the scripts doesn't look trivial.
For manual testing purposes I could strongly recommend Ubertesters platform. Try to hire some of their beta testers for few hours to test your app on real devices.

For functional testing the tools I have seen being used are Eclipse + Java + Selenium web driver + JBehave.

On performance side, the widely used tool is JMeter.

These days, most of the software testers as well as QAs are switching from manual testing to automated testing, as testing through automation is more effective and it also increases the test coverage. According to me, one of the widely used & demanding test automation tool these days is TestingWhiz. This is because, this is a Code-less test automation tool with inbuilt multi-functionalities like test automation for Web & Mobile Apps, Database testing, Cross-Browser testing, Big Data testing, etc. As this is a command driven and code less tool, it is easy to prepare and execute the test scripts. Also the feature of record & playback makes this tool more user friendly.

For more details and better clarity about the tool and its features, you can visit http://www.testing-whiz.com/ and also download its 30days trial version for free.
