PMDG by several thousand miles.

At least with PMDG I can easily merge the panel with the much better visual model by Erick Cantu.

PMDG is the best 737NG when it comes to realism of systems and etc.
I have voted for overland because I don't like realism in the a/c certified for 2 or more people in real life.

Heheh.
I don't like realism when it comes to flight systems in MSFS, so I prefer my a/c as simple as possible but nicely modelled.
On the other hand, for those who really want realism, PMDG is the best NG.

Actually, if you want the best realism for the least money, take the Vistaliners 737NGs and combine them with the SkyDecks 737NG panel. No FMC, no long start-up procedure, but you still get a good looking cockpit.

It's the 737-200 that Erick did, the repaint was done by someone else. Erick and Steve (the modeler and painter respectively) have a thing about not doing paints of aircraft that have crashed.
