pscp and psftp are very customizable(options) and light weight. Open source to boot.

WinSCP has the command line functionality:
c:\>winscp.exe /console /script=example.txt
where scripting is done in example.txt
.
See http://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_automation
Refer to http://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_automation_advanced for details on how to use a scripting language such as Windows command interpreter/php/perl.
FileZilla does have a command line but it is limited to only opening the GUI with a pre-defined server that is in the Site Manager.
Cygwin + sftp/scp natrually
WinSCP can be called from batch file:
"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" /console
Example commands:
option batch on
option confirm off
option transfer binary
open sftp://username@hostname:port -hostkey="ssh-rsa "
www.bitvise.com - sftpc is a good command line client also.
LFTP is great, however it is Linux only. You can find the Windows port here. Never tried though.
Achtunq, it uses Cygwin, but everything is included in the bundle.
bitvise tunnelier works really well
This little application does the job for me. I could not find another CLI based client that would access my IIS based TLS/SSL secured ftp site: http://netwinsite.com/surgeftp/sslftp.htm
Filezilla is great and it can support command line arguments.
