I imagine you have a decent amount of stats saved up in each of them by now. When do you think you might do the review? I'll keep an eye on my WordPress dashboard for it.... :) I think your idea for comparing all the statistics tools is a great one!

If your blog URL includes an underline or other non-standard characters (_,~, etc.) this plugin will not work. I have written to the author about the problem as have others. I don't believe it's been fixed yet though someone can correct me if I'm wrong. This seems like it should be a simple problem to fix but then again I'm not a coder. Also, when I installed the plugin it somehow turned off the 3rd party stat counter I was using. I’d like to add a caveat to all the rave reviews.

Something to note is: GoStats is made by people who make only stats, while WP-stats is made by people who mainly do blogging. You will find that GoStats has a rich feature set and is a mature system.

To keep things level, I set out to compare the external tools, mostly those that ask one to include some js code to add tracking for a site. So what do you like about firestats? Shortstat was annoying since more than half the referrers are from the same domain as the site! :) Keith, I omitted Firestats and Shortstat since they are wordpress plugins, or hosted on the same server.

I use feedburner for another site - pretty good, will try and cover that too. As for performancing - they have been bought and sold and stuff, so I didn't know what the current status was - I will play with that too.

I use two more that you didn't list. Performancing.com's pmetrics and Feedburner's stats (NOT just for feeds anymore). What's a few more lines of javascript in your theme, eh?
