I really liked Teamcity but in the environment I am working it, the time it would take to get a Purchase Order for Teamcity through the layers of management would likely have exceeded the time it took to migrate everything over to Hudson.
I have used and setup TeamCity and Jenkins (aka the new Hudson) before and while I would agree that TeamCity is a lot slicker to set up it is only free for teams of 10 users or less. Both systems are very easy to set up and have a plugin system that is well supported. The killer feature in TeamCity is the pre-checkin workflow where you can test code before checking it into source control and the nicety of Jenkins is that it is completely free even if you grow beyond the 10 users and build agents.
I'm just starting to get used to hudson ready to experiment and see how it will fit into our current environment. I have absolutely zero experience with Teamcity so can't comment on that but I am enjoying working with hudson thus far.

There are lots of plugins for hudson plus the hudson site gives you plenty of advice for writing your own (http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Extend+Hudson).
