Awstats vs. Webalizer

Well, I have a small problem. I have hosting with cPanel and both are installed, but which one is better? Awstats shows me more visitors than Webalizer, so which one should I trust?
Webalizer:

hard to say, I use awstats to keep track of my traffic, most people do as far as I know. Not had any problems when it comes to reliability and accuracy so far..

Royalty Hosting is an unknown quantity at this point
I had a similar experience once the only difference is that Webalizer showed more visitors than Awstats.

Webalizer seems to include redirects and search engines in their visitors list, where awstats filters most of that out. Probably why webalizer shows more visitors than awstats does.

yes so neither are inaccurate, its just awstats is more detailed alittle bit. I use 3 stats and compare them to each other to estimate the exact counts if needed.

all stats programs make assumptions, and are inaccurate.
