That's a tough one MS. I think you might have a tough time finding people who've been on more than one of those diets long enough to have an opinion.
In my case, I'm on the Hi Pro, Mod Carbs, Mod Fat diet (50/25/25). I've stuck to that for about 7-8 weeks now. Other than that, I tried the Adkins/Protein Power diet a while back. I lost a little weight, but only lasted for two weeks. I consider myself a disciplined guy when it comes to my health, but I just couldn't handle that diet.
Anyway, that seems to be working for me now. But I've got at least another four weeks to go, hoping to keep it up through Christmas, at which time I have a long, carbohydrate bender planned!

Before:
Around 285lbs (i was into the diet for a week before i weighed myself)
Pants: 48
Shirt XXL 18 1/2 - 19
Now:
214lbs
Pants: 40 (almost in a 38 comfortably)
Shirt XL (17-17 1/2) I'll probably always be an XL. My family has huge upper body's.
Basically i've stuck to the diet that the book outlines. I don't cheat, not even a bite or 2. I exercise 3-4 times a week, mainly cardio although i have done a little bit of weights and added some muscle.
In response to my PM: Yes, most people i know have noticed. Mainly those that i go for a month or 2 at a time without seeing. I can tell in the mirror, but its still tough to gauge for yourself when you see what you look like everyday. I'm still scale happy, but i've gone through 2 week periods where i won't loose a single pound, yet drop a size in my waist. I'm burning fat faster than my cells can shrink
.
If there is one thing Atkins has taught me, its that you can't cheat. Cheating will screw you up, and make you physically feel bad. Overall, i have a lot more energy than i used to. Lowered Blood pressure, cholesterol, all of that stuff.
Here's a pic of me a week into Atkins. Its tough to see me, but i'm the one in the hat in the middle of the pic. My car club is having another carshow this saturday so i'll try to get an updated pic some time in there.
Now that i stare at that pic, i can tell a huge difference. Granted, that shirt was to big, but you wear what you can grab

Also, i take the following supplements:
Potassium
CoEnzyme Q10
Atkins Dieters Advantage
Atkins Basic #3 Multivitamin.
I feel that the multivitamin and potassium are the most beneficial.
The only problem i ran into were leg cramp at night. Since i can't eat banannas or sweet potatoes, my only good source of potassium is broccoli. Which rocks IMO!
