Boise State is very happy with TDNet for the A-Z list, the built in
notification feature, and the TOUR link resolver.

Personally, I'm not sure there is a big difference in them, as the
basic functionality is as a "cross reference service".  It all depends
on the quality of the data provided, whether by you or by the vendor.
So the real questions are how frequently the vendor updates the data,
and how frequently you do so.  With any given product, do you have the
ability to update things yourself, or do you have to rely on someone
else?
