I've used Internet Security Scanner from ISS and really like it's 
ability to pull users from NT domains and test common passwords, such 
as username=password, password=password, etc.

I've considered purchasing the consultant version of l0phtcrack LC5.

Has anyone used LC5 and can anyone compare it to ISS?  

I'm not sure that you can compare the two, really.  Look at what L0phtcrack 
does...it's much, much more than simply trying to guess a couple of common 
passwords.

Also are there 
any OpenSource tools that can do these sorts of checks?

Checks?  Hhhmm...not sure.  Password cracking...sure.  John the Ripper, or 
ophcrack (http://lasecwww.epfl.ch/~oechslin/projects/ophcrack/index.php).  
Ophcrack is something you should probably look at...
