Wisbar, ICBar or Handswitcher: Which should I get?

Switcher bar is acting up in a major way on my X5. I ma looking into getting an alternative app to really close running programs. I am looking at Wisbar, ICBar and Handyswitcher. I am looking for some insight into the pros and cons of each.

I want something simple and easy to use.

I can't compare the three, but I found Icbar to be very easy to use. Best of all it's free.

wisbar is free and is much more themeable than ic bar or handy switcher

if you just want a close program not minimise consider magic button

I use wisbar because I can make match my ppc theme and I like the ability to have "quicklaunch icons"

after you've tried them all, you'll probably find the simplicity and functionality of icbar to be the best, i did...

I like PPX for the customization, but definately not the most easy to learn.

Wisbar Advance 2 is probably the best skin/app managing software I haev ever used. Worth the $9.99 (http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com)

I can't speak for ICBar or Handswitcher, but I am a big fan of WisBar Advance. I used version 1.x on my previous PPC and have just purchased 2.x for WM2003 SE. Worth the money, in my opinion.
