GNUBG is currently the only engine that supports asymmetric METs. Even though it's far from perfect in analyzing "real play" between non-bot-human-players, it's by far the best tool available for that purpose.

Like XG is currently the best (and fastest) tool available for benchmarking your game vs. "theoretically correct".

Frank's bot is really cheap (remember, that you don't have to purchase new releases along the way all upgrades have been complementary), and it runs on a wide variety of devices. If it could improve it's theoretical strength a bit it's right up there!

So, like others have said, don't choose just one, choose the ones that fit your needs.
