The Patricia Seybold Group used to have an excellent overview of all four of these products that addressed these (and many other issues). I don't know if they've updated it recently but if so, you may want to get it. It costs ~$700 bucks but will more than repay for itself when you account for lost time if you research it yourself or if you choose the wrong product.
