Okay. I've put this off far too long but I think now is the time.

I've been fooling around with realXtend and the rex server making a small 4-sim "estate" to play around on hosting it on my own network. I haven't done any major work. Mostly just terrain and some minor prim building.

I spent a few hours yesterday learning about OSG and OLG. I'm honestly not leaning in either direction. Both grids have their good and bad points but in my mind they're about even.

The two biggest selling points for me are mesh support and the ability to host and connect my own regions to the existing grid (not on my local machine but let's assume I have access to a couple of kick-ass servers and a ton of bandwidth somewhere

).

My question is, which grid do you think I should go to and why?

Do your best to "sell" me on either one without mudslinging or negativity toward the other.
