What are the best tools/methods to assess a keyword's difficulty in ranking for SEO?

There are so many SEO tools that you can get confused. I want to find if a keyword is hard for SEO or can be easily achieved.
The problem is, this is not something new. Keyword Effectiveness Index (KEI) (= Total Number of Searches divided by Total Number of Competing Pages) was used to find such keywords. But, situation is a bit different now. Total Number of Competing Pages is quantity, but Google now works with quality and authority. With some tools, this becomes a pain when you have to deal with more than 50 keywords.
Here are some sample tools:
SEO Chat's Keyword Difficulty Tool
It gives an index value that can be used, but I think it uses Keyword Effectiveness Index (KEI). Same goes for seologs.com/keyword-d...
SEOMoz's Keyword Difficulty Tool
It's a Pro-tool now and you have to pay for it.
But, there must be a good tool that can give you insights about:
- The number of competing pages
- The page ranks of top 100 pages
- The total number of cached pages for top 100 pages
- The inbound links of top 100 pages from PR 5 sites
- The inbound links of top 100 pages from PR 4 sites
- The inbound links of top 100 pages from PR 3 sites, and so on.
Take all these and get a value or percentage that says how hard it is to achieve, in terms of SEO.
My question is not in the method or tools. But, I'd like to know how do you achieve such intelligence? Is it any tool, is it any method or is it anything else?
