I'm interested in purchasing a C compiler for my Amiga 3000 and am wondering
which one I should buy, Lattice or Aztec.  I'm sure that both of these packages
are good, but what are the differences between them?  Topics I'm interested
in are:

(order is not relevant)

  Compile time.
  Size of executable output.
  Optimization of executable. (i.e. speed vs size trade-offs)
  Debugging capabilities.
  Documentation.
  Features (specifically differences between the two).

I realize that there are different options as far as what I can get, i.e.
  Aztec Professional
  Aztec Developer
  Lattice C
  Lattice C++
  etc...

What are the main differences between these packages?  I realize this is a lot
to ask for, so in the event that I don't get many responses could someone 
please tell me where I might find "comprehensive" reviews of each of these 
packages as well?  Thanks!!!
