I've tried Swype, ShapeWriter and SlideIT.
Swype felt nice and smooth to use, but had issues filling in web forms. The gestures, like little loops to make double letters, were fine until I tried SlideIT which doesn't require them. I hated the popup word suggestion box. That just needs to go away immediately.
ShapeWriter is my least favorite I think. It felt the least refined when swiping and had the hardest time figuring out what words I wanted. It does have the much nicer word suggestion bar though.
SlideIT takes the best of the other two and combines them. It feels nice and smooth like Swype, has the word suggestion bar like ShapeWriter and has the bonus of not requiring the gestures of Swype. I felt it was well worth the asking price.
