Enom/GoDaddy/Namewinner better than Pool/Snapnames is just far from accurate. A better test would be to take a multiple sampling over a few days from all deleting names and you'll find Pool destroys the others completely.

The best advice though from this is if you see names you want to catch, get in every available source for catching them.
correct. pool used to be able to grab 90% of what I backordered there. and they have caught hundreds for me, but recently there's been buzz that enom is taking over.

Inside a Drop Catcher?s War Room: How eNom Arms Maker Chris Ambler Is Turning The Tide for Club Drop
Over the past couple of weeks we have been talking about the big move Enom's Club Drop has been making in the drop catching market (in fact that is the subject of our current Cover Story). Club Drop has added almost 3 dozen new registrars and the harvest from their enlistment program and Chris Ambler's finely tuned software started coming in this week with the company landing three domains on the big board. Those included #3 AirborneExpress.com at $16,000, #5 B2B.net at $10,200 and #9 iVision.com at $6,000. Club Drop also has a pile of high dollar domains moving through the Pipeline as you'll see a bit later (the Pipeline also features a huge $186,000 sale that should be our chart leader next week).

so after reading it I ran the test for myself and that's why I was suprised with the results. we'll see who catches PRD.com today. also, namewinner has raised their minimum price and adopted the extended auction format, so perhaps they are working harder than ever. plus all drop services are worried about WLS killing the drop game altogether.
