I have used both. Right now I find TKBIBTEX to be the most stable
(which also has a LyX pipe). However I will be switching to
Pybliographer soon - the searching for instance is far superior to
anything else, incl. gbib and barracuda. There are a few issues with
Pybliographer from a users point of view, but it is still beta (eg,
copy/duplicate an entry to save time filling in duplicate fields in new
entry, tab or return to move between fields in new entry etc). IMHO I
would recommend pybliographer - perhaps on the next release. It is one
I wait for with great anticipation. Finally, if gbib had a decent search
engine, I would probably use that right now instead of tkbibtex.
