Yeah..I guess it was. I didn't have the book on me so I kinda guessed. Sorry for the confusion.

I've heard good things about :
A Game of Thrones
Black Company
Conan
Thieves World
I've also heard good things about Iron Heroes, but I can't get into it despite liking the premise that led to its development.

Mechanically speaking:
Arcana Evolved
Iron Heroes
Castles and Crusades
Best Setting:
Ptolus
For me at this point, I don't really need any more d20 variants. Part of the reason I like AE and IH so much is that I can pick and choose stuff here and there to implement in our D&D game. I'm going for D&D compatible stuff these days, with the occasional exception here and there (Star Wars Saga Ed. being the latest).
I prefer things that build on the shared experience of D&D, in clear. I don't want to to have to go through a new period of adaptation to a new rules set when D&D works for us. You know what they say: "If it ain't broken, don't fix it."

Arcana Unearthed and Everquest RPG. I like elements of both but use them as add-ons to D&D instead of as their own systems.
I play D&D and generally prefer add-ons without repeated core stuff. Variant rules can be their own book, or in supplements. I have Unearthed Arcana and use some of its variants and considered the variants in Bastion Press' Arms and Armor 3.5 and Torn Asunder books.

In order of preference:
OGL: (Clear winner, hands-down)
CONAN
A Game of Thrones
Iron Heroes
Lone Wolf
Arcana Evolved
D20:
Thieves' World
Grim Tales
In general, I prefer OGL games because they can build off the D20 mechanic in such a way that it still allows easy integration and tweaking with other D20 subsystems but drops the D&D baggage that leaves me cold (spell slots, magic item proliferation, etc.)
