Font Agent vs Suitcase

Ok, I'm currently looking for an alternative font management program for the design studio and editorial team at work. We are all on OSX 10.3 and currently using Suitcase X1.
Suitcase has been nothing but problems since we all moved to OSX last year, and I'm now looking at FAP3.
Can anyone offer a bit of advice on this? I've been running FAP3 at home and am loving it, but is there any issues i should know about before ordering it for work?

No font manager works perfectly on OS X yet, but FAP is as close as it gets. I've used it for 3 years and while there are a few annoyances, it gets the job done - and the auto-activation is leagues above the others.

I use Suitcase X1 and it seems to work well with font activation and all. My only qualm is that I get tons of fonts that say "Preview Not Availalble."
I tried using FAP 3.0 and my qualm with it, is that many of my font's don't even load up in there. Like if I have a folder with 50 fonts in there, not all 50 will load up into FAP. Anyone else have this issue?

I have been using Font Reserve which I carried over from Jaguar to Panther and now in Tiger. Seems to be the most stable of everything I have tried.
