If you make them yourself then you don't need any tool at all.
If you do make them remember not to just use the open source (cookie cutter" platforms that tools like GSA and Sick post to.
Make sure to use all the high PR custom sites that are apporpriate (Wordpress, tumblr, blogger, livejournal etc) If you're going to make them all yourself you might as well do it properly... it takes no longer than doing it badly and just choosing the open source platforms (which often are "here today gone tomorrow - taking your links with it).
If you are only promoting one site or only doing this once then no need for any tool at all for first tier. Every 12 weeks start again making a new set of accounts, then going in them say once a week to post new content some with linksoften with no link - or none self serving links to avoid account closure) and pointing your new links to inner usl's
I started this way and it worked. 1 1/2 days a week updating all my first tier with new content and links then creating a new subset of profiles every quarter and starting again worked fantastically. I used the methods I mention in thje post below (back from when that's how I worked) IT is a great way to work particularly if you only have one site with only a few URL's to promote.
Creating 50-60 accounts with decent help (content fillers etc) and then populating them properly will take no longer than a day or two and is well worth the effort. It's the content that will win it for you in the long run.

Here's a post I did ages ago on creating your own first tier (yeah I know - and I promote UD - go figure)
Talking of UD I get around 85-90% success with my lists of PR2 or greater sites.
I provide my members with the actual account details of the test runs I do (user name - password - title of post - URL - and in some cases even the email address used)
You can actually go into the sites and see the accounts and content yourself that I created while testing - usually within the last 48 hours before the lists were published.
If a site won't let you do that - I take it outta my lists..PR2 or greater sites on Article, WEB2.0 and WIKI total about 700 - all with these proofs. 700 PR2 or greater sitres all with proofs - Hell if you need more than that you better be promoting amazon dot com itself otherwise you are going to be in overop HELL
SENuke is about the same idea really. My VA is using nuke as another SE guy on micronesia has an outsourcers license chair going spare (100% legit - he pays for a full outsourcers with nuke - just doesn't have enough people to work for him yet) and he let her use it.The lists that were suppied were bloody terrible. I scraped and tested about 500 good sites - now I have a list of 500 sites of which - at any given sitting 450+ work
Motto: Crap lists are crap
