The basic answer: they all suck. I think that the method on the VBM 
pages sucks least of the lot, but I know that others disagree. There 
has never been a study which compared all these methods, though this 
paper here might help (it does not compare our cortical_surface method 
that is described in the VBM pages):

Boesen K, Rehm K, Schaper K, Stoltzner S, Woods R, Luders E, Rottenberg 
D.
Quantitative comparison of four brain extraction algorithms.
