So, sometimes there's something you need that aptitude simply can't do. However, in the core stuff, I find that aptitude tends to be better. In particular it's smarter about removing things that you no longer need. So my rule of thumb is to use aptitude unless I need apt-get. dpkg is a different beast. It's for adding and removing a .deb file. It doesn't download it for you, or find the required dependencies, or anything like that. apt-get/aptitude use dpkg in the background.
