Convertible Debentures Valuation

What is the best method or financial model to use when putting a value on convertible debentures?

I personally like Crystal Ball’s (I believe a Cisco product) excel add-in which Monte Carlo’s binomial/trinomial trees.

Monis, Kynex, Bloomberg, Thompson Reuters all have models. Typically some form of a binomial/trinomial tree is used, with a stochastic stock, interest rate, default process pricing the bond at each node and deriving a FV by discounting the credit spread. Many of the models use finite differences for a quick approximatation for the greeks.
The convertible valuation can viewed as a Bond + Call Option OR Stock + Put Option or a blend.
