Best Between Genemark.Hmm And Genemarks And Blast And Blat

Dear Members,

I am working on prokaryotic data for gene prediction. I have list of few accurate tools:

1) GENEPrimp - having issues running it. post processing tool

2) Ab initio: genemark.hmm, genemarkS, prodigal and glimmer3. I am unable to knockout either of Genemark. GenemarkS is enhanced version of genemark.hmm. One uses gibbs sampling and other viterbi algorithm. Both can give output in gff format. How should I narrow down?

I have to work on FgeneB and EasyGenes

3) Homology Based:

a) genewise: have issues with it ,c files. I am getting ld exit error.

b) BLAST v/s BLAT:

BLAT paper says it is good for vertebrates, but after that I haven't found much on its input data type. BLAT is fast and less accurate than BLAST. It is good for homologous species. How should I narrow down here?

Please help in this.

I would rephrase the question, the title is too loaded - there are not that many people that have used all three but there could be people that used one or the other. I would focus on asking feedback on which tool worked well rather than asking people to put one tool on the podium.
