FriendStream Vs. FaceBook and Twitter apps

Which do you guys prefer and why? I haven't explored them too much, I've only set up FourSquare and LinkedIn (Droidin) so far with social media.

When I set it up on my DroidX, it synced my friends and followers in my contacts which was a nightmare.
 
I've been using FriendStream since Thursday. Overall, I like it. But I get annoyed when it sometimes sits at "Loading recent comments" or fails to post my comments/likes. Seriously starting to think about switching to something else.
 
I keep wanting to like and use FriendStream, and tried it for my first couple days with the tbolt. But it's so limited on what you can do in the widget, and once you open the app it's just a substandard Twitter client at that point.

Right now Tweetcaster is my favorite Twitter client, and the stock Facebook app is my favorite for that, although I'm much more of a Twitter than Facebook user.

If you want an integrated Twitter/Facebook client, try Hootsuite for Android. I haven't used it because as I said I'm not a big Facebook user, but that may be worth a shot. (and it's free)
 
Do any of the free or paid Facebook apps allow picture uploads and tagging of other people? My wife is annoyed because she can't upload and tag other people in pics like she could with the iPhone FB app.
 
TweetDeck is my favorite Twitter/Facebook app. It also let's you integrate Buzz and Foursquare.
 
I like Seesmic for Twitter. While Tweetdeck is good too, I switched to Seesmic because it gives an option to see only your timeline (only things you've tweeted over time). It's been a while since I checked out Tweetdeck. So they may have incorporated this feature now.
 
I just use the HTC Twitter Widget that comes with the phone for Twitter....but I despise every Facebook app on the market. The only good Facebook app in my opinion is on the iPhone, unfortunately. Until the Android one steps up to that level, it's not for me. I will stick with the FB Touch site. With this lovely wonderful 4G speed, it is much, much faster than the slow official app...
 
Do any of the above mentioned twitter apps offer scrollable widgets? That's what I like about sense (about the only thing, the scrollable widgets)
