There are lots of different personal viewpoints on this.

For me, the most important thing is to use the SAME operating software 
all the time, by using the contesting software in its 'General Logging' 
mode outside of contests. I have always found that far more important 
than the actual choice of software.

Because you only have to learn one set of operating reflexes - every day 
you go on the air, you are training yourself for contesting.

It also avoids those Friday-evening "config panics". You've had days, 
weeks and months to tweak the hardware/software configuration so it's 
just  right for you, and the whole setup process stays fresh and 
familiar.

Compared to that, the specific choice of software is almost incidental.
