I have only worked with Web Connection, so I cannot speak about the other products. I am extremely happy with WC, and here are the primary reasons:

1. Very flexible - I am not sure what you can't do with WC.
2. Great Documention - Most of what I have learned about the WWW and WC has come either from the web site or the product documentation.
3. Great Support - I have yet to find a better supported product. If the author, Rick Strahl, does not answer your question quickly (and he usually does), someone else on the support forum will.
4. Constantly Evolving - New features are constantly coming out. He spends a great deal of time solicting feedback and improving the product.

One thing about asking questions: make sure you read the docs thoroughly. There is a lot going on with WC, and it has taken me a couple of readings to understand what is going on. If you ask a question, and it is obvious that you have not done your homework, Rick is likely to tell you to RTFM. And I completely agree with this. He spends a lot of time answer questions. The less obvious ones he has to deal with, the more time he can devote to the product :).
