S-Gear is one of the few that I haven't tried.

I've heard good things about it, but after discovering JamUp and Bias, I stopped looking, to be honest.

Many members of this group, I suspect, do a lot more studio recording than I do. I'm pretty much only a live player now that I no longer compose songs, so the iOS route works well for me, going straight into the board from an iPad / iPod. It's lightweight, compact, less noisy than my 11R, and sounds amazingly good. But, to each his / her own, of course.
