We currently use the MARS, it is very nice.  It also works well with a number of applications.  We pull McAfee EPO info 
in addition to Cisco logs.  
 
But, it's not the cheapest solution around.

Cisco MARS is VERY nice.  Especially if you have an entire Cisco infrastructure.  I hope to have one someday.  I have 
seen it in action.

Arcsight is a software based solution and Cisco has the CS-MARS
appliance.

Cisco does well in basic log correlation and trends... Arcsight is much
more advanced in correlation and incident analysis (getting down to the
nitty gritty)....

Both deal with Netflow...
