The Original Languages Library does get you a nice collection of lexicons: Louw-Nida, the LEH Lexicon of the LXX, 'Middle Liddell,' and UBS.E.g., I have right click links from Greek text to look up the lemma of the word in the EDNT which I have in Logos or to either the form or lemma in Perseus online. BW also makes it very easy to link to resources in many other programs and to online resources.One can also right click on a Greek word and "Lookup lemma in Lexicon Browser." From this browser one can choose between available lexicons, and the verse reference will be highlighted. In the Resource tab, it will indicate whether a specific reference is made to the word in that verse. One can choose in BW to have the entries from all available Greek lexicons show up in the Analysis tab when hovering over any Greek word.BW's greatest asset is its inclusion of Friberg, Gingrich/Danker (a condensed BDAG), and the 'Middle Liddell.' These provide a good start before getting a more comprehensive lexicon.Highlight the Greek word, click the Tool Set, and entries for that word show up in tabs for each lexicon. One helpful feature is that you can set up a Tool Set including all the lexicons you want.It seems that a Web Links tool was anticipated so that one could link in to online resources (most importantly Perseus), but I don't see that it has been implemented yet for work on Greek texts.Unlike BW and Logos, Accordance doesn't include the abridged Liddell-Scott. As noted above, the UBS Barclay/Newman isn't quite sufficient. I wish that Accordance included a shorter lexicon (such as Friberg or Gingrich/Danker or even the 'Middle Liddell') in their packages.It would appear to be a decent resource, but I'm always a bit cautious about "theological" lexicons. I have not used Spicq's Theological Lexicon of the NT which is included in the Premier library.I'd be interested in hearing recommendations. I do not have much experience with most of them. There are quite a few additional resources that are specialized lexicons, dictionaries, or word studies.I personally find the Friberg Analytical Lexicon or the Gingrich/Danker Shorter Lexicon to provide just enough additional information in an entry to alert my students when they should do further investigation. Of them, I think that the UBS Barclay/Newman or the ones based on Strong's (which simply reflect words used in the KJV or NAS translation) are the least helpful. It is important to have one of these included in a base package. (e.g., the Gingrich/Danker, the 'Middle Liddell,' or the 'Little Kittel') Some are simply rudimentary dictionaries.

Some are abridged or condensed from one of the full lexicons.

(One can also download the LS lexicon for free using Diogenes.)
BW and Logos can create a right-click accessible external link to this important resource. Do note that the 'Great Scott' is available online at Perseus. The unabridged Liddell-Scott is not available for Accordance and is an extra cost for BW and Logos. It will cost you to add BDAG for each program. This an excellent lexicon and one well worth having. Of these, Louw-Nida is the only one that is usually included.

You can view my collation in this PDF file or download the XLSX spreadsheet. To start answering this question, I have constructed a database of the Greek-English lexicons, dictionaries, or related Greek lexical studies available in various packages of Accordance (A8), BibleWorks (BW8), and Logos (元).
What are the most important Greek-English lexical resources for biblical studies? Only 5% put a high value on it, but 13% said it may be more harmful than helpful. As I checked today (2009.10.10 40 votes), 55% indicated it wasn't worth the bother and 28% said it may be helpful but wasn't worth the money. In the previous post, I ran a survey on the importance of Thayer's Lexicon for biblical studies.
