Aircrack is actually a series of tools, and they are command line tools. As far as I know there are no "menus" unless there is some GUI version that I'm not aware of.

Aircrack-ptw (also integrated as a separate attack within Aircrack-ng v0.9) generally takes about 2-3 minutes to crack 128 bit WEP (depending upon your injection rate).

Aircrack is a WEP (and WPA) cracker; C&A is much more, but also very different. I would not consider Aircrack as an "alternative" as they do very different things.
