Click to expand.They are completely disjoint products. Disk Warrior does one and only one thing - it rebuilds directories. It is very good at doing this, and a lot of problems are solved as a result, but that is all it does. Tech Tool Pro, on the other hand, is a complete diagnostic suite.
It tests a wide variety of hardware devices (not just disk drives), and can analyze/repair more than just directory structures. It also includes disk optimization features and system-monitoring features. I find that both are useful, but not for the same things. When I want/need to rebuild a directory, I use Disk Warrior. For other diagnostics, I use TTP.

HFS+ should not need to be defragmented.
There are system facilities to auto-defragment files on an as-needed basis, which should be enough most of the time. Directory optimization, however, is something else. Optimizing just the directory (with TTP or with Disk Warrior) is a good idea. It doesn't often need it, but if you're seeing sluggish performance, then it is a possibility. How much memory do you have? Mac OS X uses more memory than 8.6. If you have less than 512M installed, strongly consider an upgrade to at least 512M.
Using Apple's Disk Utility to verify the disk (and repair it if problems are discovered) is also a good idea. Minor disk errors can slow things down. Using Disk Utility to repair permissions on your boot volume may also help.
