Vuln Scanning software choices

I know that most if not all of you use or have used Nessus at some point. I've been following the thread. Now that it appears that Nessus is seriously ratcheting down support for independent consultants and corporate / gov't users without a registered and paid for license what scanning software are you considering? Has anyone done a *complete* comparison of all of the scanning software out there and made a choice based on the findings? If so what was it?

I work for a fairly large company and the contract negotiations with Tenable are going poorly and the company I work for is looking at the options.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!!
