I used vBar for a while before buying Wisbar - It's a good freeware but in the end I chose Wisbar because I like being able to see what programs are running via the icons on the taskbar.

Pocket Plus is a good app but I felt that the space that was taken up by the icons was too large (and I always found it untidy). That's why I chose iLauncher2.

You worded that quite well yourself!
I agree - I didn't spend the extra money on a VGA device because i had never had a PPC device before and I wasn't sure I was going to find myself at home. I wish I could go back now - I would certainly go for an X50v (or Loox720).
