For my part, Fastclick seems to have lower quality with a lot of focus on pop-unders. I don't have experience with the others yet.

i like burst the best of those because of ease of setting defaults, blocking lower cpm campaigns, and good reporting. the big negative is that the stats on burst only update once a day, not throughout which is a pain.

fastclick is consistent with sending checks and they always have tons of campaigns, unfortunately most are crap ads. so im very selective with what i allow. they pay very well for pop-unders which is good.

i use tribalfusion as an intermediate. ive been happy with what they offer for certain ad sizes and not for others, i just started with them only a week or so, so we'll see.

i used to use valueclick, but i stopped because i focus only on cpm, and use adsense for cpc.
