I think they both have very good reputations; I've only used Advantage
and it seems to work very well. I keep seeing mention of a pill
called Capstar that you can get from your vet that works much quicker.
I've seen people post to use both the pill and the spot-on in
conjuction with each other in bad infestations.

Frontline is better than Advantage if you want to kill ticks as well as
fleas. If you only have a problem with fleas, they both work about the
same.

I've used Advantage with good results.

All the other treatments (powders, dips, shampoos, pills) are all either not
as good as Advantage or Frontline at killing fleas, or they are more toxic.
