Any calibration tool is going to work better than no calibration tool at all. I've used the Spyder and Gretag tools, both work extremely well.
I expect the Huey is going to be much of a muchness with the Gretag or Spyder
The Spyder that I used didn't support dual monitors, so I always had one monitor somewhat out of whack.
I doubt if any of the tools don't support two monitors nowadays though.
Before I got the Spyder, I calibrated using Adobe Gamma, which comes packed as an auto install with Photoshop, and perhaps Elements as well.
While an improvement over no calibration, I wouldn't be able to go back to it as a sole calibration method at this point.

Also, don't discount monitor quality. They really aren't all created equal, and the cheap TN film panels are visibly not as good as the better panels. I have a good LaCie sitting beside a relatively inexpensive Samsung, and the quality difference is quite visible.
