Why each option
Sam Spade, SuperScan, and WsPingPro are multi-function network utilities that each include a built-in whois query capability, while Traceroute only maps network paths.
Sam Spade is a dedicated network investigation tool that includes whois lookups, DNS queries, and other reconnaissance functions.
SuperScan is a TCP/UDP port scanner that also bundles whois query support among its network information-gathering features.
Traceroute (or tracert) is used to display the path and transit delays of packets across a network to a destination - it does not perform whois domain registration lookups.
WsPingPro is a Windows network utility suite that includes whois, ping, traceroute, and other network diagnostic tools.
