I use a combination of several. AWstats for an overall look at the site. ShortStat for basic statistics on the visitors. MeasureMap for those blog specific data. And I still use a home made stats pack for my feeds. Yes, filling your page with stats scripts might increase loading times... It's normal to notice a "Waiting for analytics.google.com" (or something) in the taskbar every once in a while during your browsing... :-\ I think the best Stats pack doesn’t come alone.

Been there, seen that. Forgot to say that statscounter has a conn: a script that may slow down your webpage if one of their servers is down. Been there, seen that.

The free version has a maximum log size of 100 hits but still it's simple to use yet powerful. Shows what I'm interested in and is not full of bloat with "Executive summary" or "Marketing summary" and such things. I tried using Google Analytical but I gave up. I most definitely prefer the limited statscounter free account than the Google Analytical. As for AWStats, is seems nice and it's Free Software, but again, not as simple as statscounter.
