I would like to find out opinions on what to use for a terminal program for
my C128.  I don't have an RGB monitor and have rigged up 80 columns from 
the connector to my composite monitor.

The reason I am asking is that I don't want to learn one and then find out
a feature I really wanted is available with another and have to relearn a 
new program.

I currently am using a program with X-modem, 300/1200 baud, and no terminal
emulation.

Must Features:
  1200 baud, X-modem, A terminal protocal that can send a '|' (vertical bar)
  for unix interfacing.  C64 mode is fine but how fast can you go (baud rate)?

Wants:
  2400 & greater baud, Y/Z modem, VT52/100 emulation, 40 or 80 columns on
  my 128 (so I don't have to squint!).

I have or can get the following via ftp/other  and was wondering if you have
used any of these and what they can do:

    novaterm9, cbtermx.x, desterm102, nova128v1p4, teleterm128, crabterm
    runterm128 (can type this in)

Thanks for any biased or unbiased opinions on the above.  I appreciate any
help you can give.
