    I'd go for Google Analytics. More reliable in my opinion!

    A perfect mix of both is the best way to go.

    when you want quick look at traffic... go to statcounter.
    and when you are free and wanna do some in depth analysis... go to google guys. ;)

    analytics is the best option, it gives all the data you require and is pretty much reliable also. but then, i also use the adsfreestats, that's my best alternative to analytics!:D

    A mixture of both. Statcounter only analyses 100 visitors in the free version

    Well I use both service but I still like Statcounter servcies very accurate and real time updates.

    Google's stats and Statcounter's stats always different.
