There's been a lot of discussion on this in the past, I would recommend looking in the archives if you no longer have the messages.
In a nutshell, Fabrizio tackled more things by completely changing the CSS structure and display of the tag. This is very nice, but presents upgrade problems for existing users who expect a plug-and-play upgrade. My tag has a simpler structure and sticks to the existing CSS structure so that there is a seamless upgrade path. It also adheres closer to the Model-View-Controller pattern that I was aiming for by providing a simple extension mechanism for customizable views of the data. Both tags can do the same things as proven by the examples provided. So functionality shouldn't be a deciding factor. More important things to consider are overall structure, design, complexity, and extendability.
