The benefit of ODEPACK vs. LSODA is mainly that ODEPACK is a collection of solvers (A. 
C. Hindmarsh (1983) "ODEPACK: a systematized collection of ODE solvers"; in Scientific 
Computing, ed. R. S. Stepleman et al., North Holland, Amsterdam, pp. 55--64.) whereas 
LSODA is a solver. Some problems demand alternate approaches. ODEPACK sports the 
Petzold DASSL solver which is of proven utility for large chemical systems. LSODA 
however is excellent and quite useful.
