My main requirement is botanical identifications and remembering latin and common plant names. So moving on to mnemosyne and taking advantage of the ability to use images was the main attraction for me. Have you looked at anki? ( http://ichi2.net/anki/ ). I discovered it by reading older posts on the mnemosyne mailing list and decided to give it a try. Initially I loved it but before long found it too complicated and had lots of extra features that I didn't want and just got in the way. Again a lot of it is down to personal preference. I like using hot-keys a lot and any program that forces me to use the mouse when a keypress will do usually gets ditched. mnemosyne's rather sparse interface is something I find quite appealing, and the ability to process and entire stack of flashcards using only keypresses is essential for me.
Often just by searching the web you can find many folk have done a lot of the hard work on the comparison for you. I found the blog at http://www.glowingfaceman.com/blog/anki-vs-mnemosyne/ helpful in deciding which program to use.
