Twidroid or Peep?

What are everyone's opinions on these two programs? Some of the Hero users have reported that after shutting down Peep, their phones have been much more responsive. Here's a link to the thread: http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/13734-do-not-use-peep.html

I haven't had any issues with Peep, but was wondering if any of you had. I've been using Peep ever since I got my Eris and don't have any major complaints. I can't seem to search for users or view trending topics, but that's not a major concern for me.

How many of you have been using Twidroid? It seems to be the Twitter client of choice based on some of the posts I've read. I just hate to take up memory by having redundant apps on my phone.
 
I dont understand this whole Twitter thing. Unless you're a celebrity, nobody gives a crud what you are doing...do you guys really think people go on twitter and see what you posted? LOLz...

As I said in a recent tweet:
Twitter is a lot like talking to yourself in public....Without being harassed by the police or being dragged in for psychiatric observation.

So I'm wondering if anyone has any more recent thoughts on this? Rogers just updated the Magic to Sense, which included Peep, and the functionality seems to be much the same, so I'm wondering whether I should even bother downloading another Twitter app (I used Seesmic, not Twidroid before).

The problems referred to above seem to have been pre-release problems, so I'm wondering if anyone has more recent experience comparing the two.

Thanks!

I found that Peep doesn't show your @replies/mentions if you name isn't the first thing in the tweet. So, '@your-name blah blah blah' will show up in Peep, but 'Blah blah @you-name blah blah' will not.

I'm using Twidroid now. I like that you can select a tweet and it gives you a pop-up to open a link, reply, retweet, etc. Makes the whole experience less clumsy IMO.

it is true. I tested this and you are able to get the mention if you use seesmic for example but you do not get the mention if you use Peep

I prefer peep, but im not a huge twitter person either so that makes a difference. I dont tweet myself, but i follow alot of places for news and other stuff. Peep works great for that. Most of the people i know that use twitter alot use twidroid or swift, and each has their own reason for liking one over the other.
