I dont think it matters much what the software is. To me the most important thing is what sound you can get out of them by using external filters, like compressors and eq's.
And if you ask me, then i would say that all the major drum vsti's sound boring and flat right out of the box. What i mean by this is that the whole drum-programming session becomes alot easier with good sound, and maybe the patterns you allready have will sound 100 times better, if that makes sense.

I agree with needing a good sound. My Double Bass Mania Samples by Beta Monkey have some killer double bass sounds and samples and plenty of patterns. And I have a good understanding of many of the stock patterns that are out there. I think where I run into problems is that I normally create my riffs etc just playing to a basic 4/4 metronome with no accent. So when I start throwing in the drum samples they seem to either go a little short or long before they repeat compared to my riff. So I either need to try to delete a beat or two or add a beat or two. And this is where I have been running into trouble. But I am starting to feel more confident about getting it done now after reading some of the comments so far.
Sometimes when I hear a great lesson or a great song that is posted on this site I am just as impressed with the drums and other instruments in the arrangement as I am with the guitar. There is so much more to learn when one starts to try and record a decent song. Its a confusing world of Audio input devices, DAW's, Mastering, EQ etc etc. Once I started trying to create songs I realized that knowing a bunch of riffs and solos is very different than putting down and recording good guitar tracks and creating great drum tracks keyboards etc etc. I recently downloaded Trons songs that he has posted on the site and I am very impressed with the arrangements and how great he makes his guitar sound by complimenting it with the other instruments. I have not looked yet to see if any of the other instructors have any songs that are available for download but I plan on checking that out soon. -------------------- My Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/FingerSpasm?feature=mhum

I agree with Trond as well. I use Superiour Drummer 2.0 with expansions for all my work and even that sounds a bit flat straight from the box. A well compressed and EQ-ed drum is essential in the end.
