What are you searching for? Now that any revenue seats on AC are available for redemption, "award space" isn't really a thing on Aeroplan.
Are you looking specifically for space on segments operated by partner airlines (UA, LH, etc)?

I run hundreds of searches a month, and so far using the United site for the macro search, then zooming in to confirm on the AC site and/or the ANA site, has been faster for me than anything in EF et al.
I mainly use EF to leave long-term searches running for space opening up on a specific flight, particularly if I've got a mixed-class booking I'm hoping to upgrade.
