Pilots: Favorite flight sim for PC?

It's been a long time since I've done any Flight Sim stuff.
There's a lot of argument between the MS Flight Sim X guys and the X-plane 10 guys.

I just installed X-Plane 10. It's been several years since I've tried X-plane at all.

I think I have FSX here somewhere. It could be the previous version though, haven't seen it in a while.

So, for the pilots here who do flight sims, what's your favorite? (short of the commercial uber-sims with full cockpit that cost a jillion bucks)

Xplane rocks. Good for practicing IFR procedures or just knocking around.

Flight Gear is both Free and free, has complete world maps, etc. Can be used multiplayer, with either real or simulated ATC (ie, one player is ATC, others are pilots)

Version 3.0 just got released

FlightGear Flight Simulator | sophisticated, professional, open-source

Not a pilot, but I've worked with a few including the instructor at work.
