We use log shipping for sending our ARSystem changes to our remote backup server and it works fine with no problems. Obviously, this works for us since we don't have requirements for realtime replication or mirroring.

Avoid those that add a column to every table - ARS hates that. If you are going to use 64-bit OS and SQL Server 2005 (which I recommend), use the Enterprise not the Standard version of SQL; there is an annoying memory handling issue in Standard x64 that is corrected in Enterprise x64.

If you are prepared to take that on, it's a nice product. Runs smoothly, graphical user interface is easy to understand, really easy to schedule backups and perform regular maintenance. You'll be able to cross-train your DBAs on some other stuff. It plays best with other Microsoft products.
