I use TNG, The Next Generation Genealogy Software. It's not free but the
good thing is that it's web based so you can easily allow other people to
view some or all of your tree without having to import/export and the like.
I use it in conjunction with ancestry and findmypast. They give me hints and
I add them to the main tree. It's a bit more work but I'm in control of my
data and who can see it.

It does have a pretty nice duplicate finder and you can use different
parameters such as complete name or soundex name search, with or without
date of birth, place of birth, and other information. You should be able to
find a demo at http://www.tngsitebuilding.com/ or drop me your email address
and I'll send you a screen shot of the duplicates page.
