We also use 3DEqualizer here 99% of the time , and it's (imho) the most
robust software you can find in 3D tracking today.
but you must be aware that :
-the interface is very old and rigid . it seems that the UI has
never been a priority there ... be prepared
for a travel back in time (I would say back in 1995 at least)
-3D equalizer doesn't work correctly on windows . mainly because of
the XVision emulation thing.
it crashes at least one or two times per day on windows .
On linux it's very fast and super stable. I think they don't support
Windows anymore (they should be respected for that :) ...
the interface thing is really sad because the results and features are
top.it has all the features you can find in the other software (except
optical flow)
The support is also very good.
it exports smoothly to XSI and you can write your own exporter if you
wish in Tcl.
We wrote some tools to handle lens distortion both in mental ray(lens
shader) and in the FXtree(ufo)
for the 3Dequalizer nerds , you can find them here ....

PFtrack seems also to be a very interesting solution because it includes
optical flow ..
I tested it for a few days and it's really not bad (a little young
maybe) but they have a new version
coming up soon http://www.thepixelfarm.co.uk
