I've had a response from Ian (thanks for that BTW - if you want me to
repost it to the list, just say so), and I wouldn't argue with anything
he's said.
TL;DR version of a very full email from Ian - they both try to do too many
things too quickly without regard to the dangers/consequences of doing them
without knowing what they and you (as the admin) are doing, but as long as
you (as the admin) are aware of these dangers, plan ahead with a full exit
strategy (BWPS can be a bitch to remove), and remember to take full backups
of your install and database before installing any security plugins, I
*personally* don't see a reason not to use one or the other (I prefer WF to
BWPS, it's less "in your face" with it's security features, but as I
mentioned, I look after both).
Kind regards
Murray Crane

Given I run a couple of WP sites (one personal,
and I'm in charge of the
one at work), and I'm happily using WF on one and BWPS on the other, care
to elaborate on what's so bad about BWPS and WordFence? Happy to listen
off-list... :-)
I'd also be very interested to know about any weaknesses in either of
these - please share! Both of these pages seem useful:
