   I can't speak for freeware/shareware, but Al Hawley's ZMAC package, at
$50, is priced close to a shareware level and is an awfully good deal. 
Except for speed, where the SLR tools reign supreme, ZMAC is probably the
highest quality assembler/linker/librarian package available for CP/M.  It
has a number of features available only in the $195 professional SLR tools
(e.g., automatic grouping by the linker of data-segment items at the end of
all code-segment items) and some features found nowhere else (e.g.,
automatic RSX and type-4 Z-System program generation).  And Al Hawley
continues to make improvements.  All other CP/M assemblers are, as far as I
know, unsupported.
