3rd Party UI controls for .Net 2.0 ... any comments/suggestion?

Hi,

I am evaluating 3rd party user interface controls (Grid, Treeview,
Explorer bar, Ribbons, and common controls like checked-combo box,
calender etc).

I have 3 contenders:
Infragistics (Window Suit for 2.0)
Dev Express (6.0 for framework 2.0)
Janus (UI and WinForm Suit)

Using the following criteria:
Speed (performance)
Usability (from programmer's perspective as well as user's
perspective)
Document and sample code
Stability of the company that they won't go out of business, as
well as tech support.
So far I have only evaluated Grid and found:
Dev Express is best in terms of Speed and client side
sorting/grouping. Dev express grid however does not few common-sense
implementations. Though there are work arounds for them.
Infragistics is as fast as Dev Express in loading the data but
soring /grouping is lil slower. Not significant through. They implement
commonly used functions and supports them.
Janus grid is slow in both loading and later client side
sorting/grouping

I am wondering if any one has experience with any of the above
mentioned vendors or control suite. If so, please reply back with your
comments and suggestion. I really appreciate your view/reply.

Thank you and Regards

Dev Express is best in terms of Speed and client side
sorting/grouping.
Add here:

Stability of company *and* products
Reliability of company *and* products
Portfolio of products (Winforms, Webforms, Business, VS Productivity)
First class tech support, imho the best in this industry

My vote for DevExpress - I'm using it since 2002
Dev express grid however does not few common-sense
implementations. Though there are work arounds for them.
what exactly do you mean with that statement?

I have used or now use controls of all the three - all are very stable and
good
control vendors but the BEST support comes from Janus System
