 Windows Installer or Script based installer????

Hi!

        I need to buy an installer, and after trying Wise and InstallShield
the former seems much easier. However, I'm not sure if I should use something
based on the new windows installer, or a traditional script based product.

        What would you recommend?

Regardless of the price difference?

This is starting to look like a very good recommendation, thanks. :-)
