I think Stimulsoft Reports is the best report engine available at this time. Just before I bought Stimulsoft Reports I investigated other engines (DevExpress - Xtrareport, ActiveReport, Crystal Reports) and decided that Stimulsoft Reports was the best. It's the best because:
1. It works;
2. The designer is intuitive, and easy to learn;
3. Allows for all kinds of datasources, especially custom classes, which I use a lot;
4. It is very flexible: regions, multiple databands, subreports, everything is here;
5. Good support, quick response, good handling of bugs.
The one thing I miss is good intellisense support while writing expressions and eventhandlers.
Good luck!
