I choose Odamex and it has nothing to do with my involvement in the project (ok, maybe a little)! The reasons I prefer Odamex over the other two engines are simple:
-I love the classic Doom feel that neither ZDaemon nor Skulltag offer.
-I love that I can play a game with physics equivalent to either Doom2.exe or ZDaemon CTF with just a few cvar switches.
-I love what I feel to be superior netcode to the other engines .
-I love the project's open nature.
-I love that server administrators and players actually have the ability to control the community how they see fit instead of being dictated to by an "administration".
-I love the "growing" nature of the project, where you can watch daily as certain aspects of the engine continue to grow right before your eyes if you so choose. You won't ever have to wait five years wondering if any work has actually been done on the engine!
I am disheartened that you did not include Odamex in your matchup, but I am confident and hopeful that you will at least give it a shot in the near future. I encourage you to join the Odamex Nitro event this coming Saturday, August 20th and get a chance to play in some larger games. If you are truly a fan of Doom multiplayer, I am reasonably sure that you will not be disappointed. :)
