I use both, and if you want to grow a site and exploit your trades, use ATX. It has several advanced features that really help.

Say for instance you have a trade with really good prod, and you know you could be getting more traffic from that trade. Say you're number 10 on their toplist.

In AT3 all you can do is set a force to that trade. This works, but you have to constantly watch it and adjust it. When you are trying to increase traffic on 10 trades, and maybe on multiple sites, it's a real bitch to balance your forces.

In ATX you can set a target level of traffic from any individual trade. You can assign pre target weights and post target weights. I generally set a target at like 2000 (hits in from that trade, set the Pre weight to 125% and the post weight to 100%.

Then, the traffic boost is fully automated. If the trade hits the target the weight goes back to neutral, or 100%. Sort of a set it and forget it thing.

Plus, ATX has dynamic skim settings, eg, if your return falls below a certain percentage, maybe due to some temporary bad traffic, it will automatically lower your overall skim to whatever you set, then raise it back up when returns are met.
