The two programs represent two different concepts.
VistaHide doesn't show battery in percentage (%).
Ariel battery does, and thus it is more accurate :)

I vote for vista hide as well. It doesn't take up much real estate on the screen and gives a visual indication of the battery charge. I like to have a visual cue to my battery charge at any time and vista hide does that. The overhead is minuscule and to be honest, although dcd put % charge in the battery meter in his new 1.7.0 ROM, I really don't need to know the charge to the nearest percent. I just need to know whether the charge is approximately i.e "do I need to stick the PDA on charge anytime soon or not?"

But I agree that we each have our own preferences. For me I like to keep the taskbar free for X-button apps display. And vista hide is the only way to achieve what I need.

Ariel battery is great, exactly what I was looking for! I prefer it over vista hide personally.. I like the % and I can see it in my today screen (where my phone sits the most) it takes up a negligable amount of screen real estate as well... that useless top left corner. Thanks a bunch!
