Which do you guys prefer? I'm currently running my game with the GMgen portion of PCgen (makes initiative a cakewalk), the character generator is very good IMHO as well, and I'm currently trying out herolab, and I was wondering what you folks think of each program...

I have both on my machines - home and laptop. I use HL occasionally, but when it comes to working on a character that needs a decent amount of customization, I invariably go over to PC Gen. Also, since I still play in D&D 3.5 games that use the Epic stuff, the ONLY choice you can use there is PC Gen. Hero Lab continues to promise that they'll someday add that to the program, but I've come to realize that it's Vaporware.
And that comes down to the big problem I have with Lone Wolf. What happens if Pathfinder stops being their big money maker with the program? Data set work will go by the wayside while they put all their efforts into the next big thing. (I STILL see requests for Epic level stuff on their board.)
I love Pathfinder, and I love PC Gen. I'm happy with Hero Lab, but when it really comes down to it, if I need to work on a character for D&D or Pathfinder, I pull out PC Gen.
