Boling's commentary is great if you want to teach a class on Judges. He gives some historical background to the text. However, in terms of "preaching" material, it is very limited.

A good critical read. Niditch comes from a more contemporary feminist perspective. In this light, she reads accounts with sexual overtones (see her comments on Ehud and Eglon). This is a good commentary to help prepare Sunday School lessons or for research, however it is limited in terms of homiletics.

Kistemaker is an easy read. While he does not get into the weeds with finer exegetical issues, this commentary does well with homiletical ideas and application.

Very good commentary. He has excellent homiletical and exegetical comments. It's an excellent commentary for both Pastors and laymen alike.
