I choose GA over SC. One major reason is GA is from big G. Even though their stats are not realtime GA has lots of cool features. I like benchmarking feature a lot.
Also if you have Adword campaign you can join it with GA.

I use GA too. Mainly because it's free, but also because I've found it to be reliable and capable of producing some great reports. I also like the fact I can set up a custom report and have it emailed to me every week.

|

I use Google Analytics (free) on my personal sites, Omniture's SiteCatalyst (insanely expensive) at work, and I'm in the process of testing Yahoo! Web Analytics (free) as a possible replacement for both.
Your pageviews are likely the same as both tools are reasonably good at documenting a page load. We use a content delivery network for most of our pages and have to work around that at times to insure a pageview is counted (instead of cached). Most people won't have that issue though. A page served is a page served in most environments.
I've never used StatCounter before but I do know that some analytic packages fail to recognize the difference between human and a computer-based unique visitors. For that reason, you'll often see a discrepancy for uniques between two packages. If the numbers are way off, you may consider diving deeper into your stats to see if Googlebot or Microsoft's Bing roBot (the old MSNBot) hit you. |

Google Analytics for us. Anything that shows our stats going up every month is ok with me, lol..
