Not into the "awards" thing but the following combination in my opinion gives the best charting value: Stock Watch Pro/eSignal.

Happy charting.
Same here ... I ended up using Stockwatch pro on eSignal because it gives you both. It has a QCharts feel and is easy to use + reliable feed from eSignal. See my comments:

SWP/Quote.com combo works pretty well for me. I scan for intraday patterns and setup alerts which send orders to IB once triggered. Trendline alerts are awesome! I heard eSignal integration is in works.
See http://finance.lycos.com/home/subs/qc3party.asp for 3rd party software compatible with Quote.com. I use SWP software from http://www.crontech.com which is a Qcharts add-on. It pretty much satisfies my needs: scanner, backtester, alerts, etc.
