I use Morae Recorder, Observer, and Manager regularly. Manager is a little bit clunky, but now that I understand how it works I don't find it to be all that difficult to use.
The only reason to use Observer, IMO, is if you planning on logging during the session. For example, I've used a programmable keypad to mark quotes or interesting parts of sessions, which then makes analysis and video highlights much easier later on. The problem is that you need a second computer nearby so that you can run Observer and connect the keypad.
