OpenBook is obviously optimised for JAWs use, personally I prefer Kurzweil 1000 but the results are close. If you are just looking for something simple Omnipage is good and comes bundled with a lot of low-end scanners for a competitively priced package - it isn't quite as good as the two packages avbove but is JAWs friendly and readily available. (The bundled version has some limitations such as the inability to OCR pdf directly but you can always print and then scan.)
