xvnc4viewer supports the version 4.x protocols, including ZRLE encoding
which is supposedly on-par with tight encoding, although the tight
encoder supports more tweakable options such as JPG compression levels.
Stick with ZRLE and xvnc4viewer unless you rely heavily on tightvnc for
some reason. Both do a good job, but the RealVNC stuff can reasonably be
considered more mainline than tightvnc, ultravnc, tridiavnc, et. al.
All of them, of course, support the 3.x encodings of the xvncviewer in
Sarge, so aside from performance issues, it's a matter of religious
conviction.
