What is the best way to navigate duplicate tag definitions in Emacs?

tags

Within emacs, what are the best options out there for navigating to a specific function whose name might show up across several different files? Within etags, you are only allowed to cycle through the tags one-at-a-time which could take a while if the function name you are looking for is popular.

C-u M-. cycles all locations of the same tag, but if you want to see a list of all tags that match your function name you can use the command tags-apropos.
