Maspik vs Antispam Bee: comments or whole forms?

Antispam Bee is a popular free plugin that does one job very well: it keeps comments and trackbacks clean without cookies or third-party services. Maspik covers comments as well, but its focus is the contact, registration and checkout forms that Antispam Bee does not touch.
