Web stats/Statistics modules recommendations

Hi everyone,
I want to add a Statistics/Web Stats module of some sorts to view traffic/pages visited/no. hits, etc. to my website and after looking at quite a few I am rather overwhelmed at how many there are out there...and quite a few of them look really good. Could a few of you give me some brief recommendations as to which one/s you have had good experiences with and prefer to use? Google Analytics looks rather good but then so do a bunch of others so I am COMPLETELY undecided & unsure at this point of what to use & would rather use something based in what you would recommend...

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance,
Christine

I cant say for many of the others, such as AWStats and Webalizer (haven't used them much in the past few years) but Google Analytics gives us all the results we need, especially using the Drupal module for GA (which is just excellent).

Thanks:)

I really like statcounter (free at statcounter.com) and web-stat (very affordable paid membership at web-stat.com) a LOT! We are trying both of these out right now...they are very similar, web-stat being a bit more eye-catching because of the colorful eyecandy but they are each just as good as the other:)

Very easy to install too! I prefer these to Google Analytics because it is more of what we were looking for right now, altho' we may add it into the mix later down the line, as it is slightly different:)
