I use LogBook Pro. and I like it.
I havent used any of the other logbook programs, so I cannot offer any comparison.
Unfortunately, there is SO MUCH you can do with LogBook Pro, that I've only figured out about a quarter of its functionality in the 4 years I've used it.
I just duplicate each individual logbook entry from my hard copy into the software. If you're rich (and brave) you can send your logbook to them, and they will do all the data entry.

Never rely on one OR the other....maintain them BOTH. Run back-ups in case your files get corrupted. Consider their "Cloud back-up" which stored a copy on a remote secure server.

I keep my daily logbook entries on my iPhone. Once a week (or so) I pull my hard-copy logbook out of the safe and update it and put it right back. When I sync my phone, it updates logbook pro.
When you are bored off your arse, soaking up some dreadful hotel cable, tinker with the various functions of the program.
Having it ALL available at the click of a mouse, makes life soooooo much easier.
An airplane with missing or incomplete log books....is scrap metal.
A pilot with missing or incomplete logbooks....is a pedestrian.
Enjoy
