Worldguard vs. GriefPrevention

I've been managing an SMP server that has basically been an anarchy up until this point. Now the players want some way to claim land/protect their bases. I know of both Worldguard and GriefPrevention as big land claim plugins, but I have never used either and I don't know which one has the functionality I need, or if I need both. Advice is appreciated. Thanks.

On my server I use worldguard as spawn protection, and I use Towny to let players claim land. Towny is pretty great because it adds an economy aspect to owning land, and players have to keep up with paying. Not sure if you're wanting to change your smp to towny though, thats just what I use!

worldguard is admin area protection, griefprevention is play area protection

Personally I use just grief prevention as you can set admin claims with it. I personally dont see the point in having world guards when grief prevention does the same thing

u can't do anything remotely to the same thing as u can with worldguard (for admin claims) all of the flags + different shaped polygons, and have different heights + better subclaiming.... its not comparable. they serve 2 different purposes griefprevention for player claims worldguard for admin regions

:this: apples to oranges tbh. On a survival server with claims, you really need both

they arent meant for the same purpose, worldguard is more meant for admin claims, it can do user claims but just not focused on it comparing them doesnt make much sense
