I use the magit interface for most operations, but for blame I usually fall back to vc-annotate, as I find it easier to read (commits on the left rather than as headers, coloring, customizable).

I haven't used tig, but from the blame view screenshot [1], they may be similar.

I also use vc-annotate, but tig blame is still superior in terms of commit annotation (shorter, easier to customize, and commit-based coloring).
