Which Drupal Aggregator - feedparser, leech, aggregator2, etc

Drupal's core aggregator is not the best. I recently started looking at the list of Drupal module aggregators available to try and find out which one was the best and most likely to be updated.

In particular, I was interesting in being able to create feed items as normal Drupal nodes instead of the specialized aggregator items.

The two best choices at the moment seem to be the feedparser and leech modules.

Both feedparser and leech have their good points.

For me, I like the look of feedparser. The leech user interface I found a bit confusing. There are also talks about feedparser being the aggregator core replacement.

The leech module has the idea of templates where you set header and footer information in the template.

Leech also has an option allowing use of the Yahoo term extraction service and an Organic Groups (OG) option.

See here for more details on these Drupal aggregator modules.
