Hi Shayne, Simple put is VPB for best performance and lowest latency, osgEarth for maximum runtime flexibility. Broadly speaking a flight sim would need to use VPB, while a GIS app will find osgEarth more appropriate.
You can actually mix and match the two as osgEarth has plugin for reading VPB generated databases. Robert.
