Matt, I thought you might be interested in the attached data which analyzes the GIBBERISH and ANTI-GIBBERISH filters by number of hits on my system from 11/15 through yesterday.
If you're looking for "effectiveness" you should set the entries in descending order of probability. I use a variation which looks at date of most recent hit as well as hit count, although that's more important with filters that are being modified on a continual rather that a fairly static filter such as these two.

As soon as bugs stop being reported, I will move to convert the other dual file filters into single file alternatives which make use of the END functionality. Until the functionality goes into a full release, I'm going to continue to primarily provide the old style filters on my site.
