Showing Events in WordPress

You want to have an easy way of managing calander events on your WordPress site? There are a number of plugins that help you achive this:

The Contenders:

• RSS Event – Adds an additional timstamp element to a post and then simply lists upcoming events in the sidebar. It is quite simple and dosn't have a calender view – just a list.
• Event Calendar 3 – This works in a similar way, but rather than adding a new timestamp, it uses the post timestamp. It also a much prettier since it shows a calender in the side bar.
• Calendar 2.0 - Differs from the other two in that it doesn't use posts to create events. You manage events from the options panel for the plugin. Though this is very limited – an event has just a title, not more. It does show up in the sidebar as a calender, but using a post seems a better solution to me

My current chioce:

Event Calender 3 – it looks the prettiest and just uses the existing post timestamp. RSS Event may have benefits in adding a specific event timestamp and if it showed up as a calender rather than a list then perhaps it would get my vote.

UPDATE: Actually RSS Event won in the end. What is the point of having a calender view? – None what so ever!
