A few months ago, Steve Burge from Alledia.com completed some rather good reviews of Search Engine Optimisation components for Joomla! Recently he added a review of the SerrBizSEF SEF URL Extension.
Here are the links to all of the reviews on his blog:
Those are all full reviews, but recently Steve posted a sneak peak into the next version of the SEF extension sh404SEF, which Steve says is rapidly becoming the “the 800 pound gorilla of SEF tools.” And it’s easy to see why, it’s a very cool extension, but perhaps it’s greatest strength is the support from the developers.
While some SEF components have suffered from inactive development (such as NuSEF which began as a resurrected OpenSEF.) sh404SEF is in very active development, and the forums for the component are a great resource, and participated in by the developers.
But all of the components that Steve has reviewed have something good to offer. Be sure to check out his blog when choosing your next SEF solution.

Hi Nicholas
Thanks for the kind words. I came here yesterday from Amy’s site and its great to see another Joomla blog around.
We just completed a single post which hopefully wraps up the pros and cons of all the components:

You’re right about OpenSEF … unfortunately its should probably be considered abandoned and we chose to leave it off the new charts.
Steve did a great comparison post putting all pro’s and cons of each current SEF component together:

Thanks for posting the link Hummerbie!
I saw that article, it’s great, and the table with the feature list is a great resource.
