From my eperience it depends on the potential market, average cart value =
and the clients current bank.

Website Payments Pro (PayPal) is a seamless backend integration form yr =
client site through to them. The customer doesn't leave yr site to goto =
paypal(except for express checkout) No need for merch account as its =
rolled into one and no-setup fee, no cancellation fee, 20 per month but =
commission fees are expensive and all revenue collected needs to =
manually removed from PayPal to the clients account (min 7 days). =
Obviously you get Express Checkout for PayPal users too (for what that =
worth)

In terms of the rest ie ePDQ , ProTx, SECPay etc I find its just down to =
which bank the customer is with. The integration is fairly similar, =
support for integration varies, fees are similar and features of the =
clients control panel with the gateways are fairly similar too.
