I am a former employee of a company called Lifeshield (when I worked for them it was called InGrid, Inc.). Their product is excellent -- it is self-install, allows you to self-monitor and/or professionally-monitor and the company is run by a great group of people. I don't work there anymore, I don't own stock, there is no benefit to me if you or anyone gives them business. It is simply a good product and a good value IMHO.
RealVNC has a better install routine on Sun, it feels faster, and looks a bit better than TightVNC. The "auto sense" for connection options is a great idea. Nonetheless -- I'm sticking with TightVNC for a little while at least...
TightVNC supports the mouse wheel (which I use when scrolling around source code) and I have trouble with some key combinations (e.g. ALT-ENTER) when using RealVNC.
If RealVNC gets mouse wheel support and their keyboard support improves I'll probably switch.
