Having recently gone through nearly every charting solution found on google
I have a few pieces of advice:

- SVG solutions (like highcharts and g.raphael) are nice if you need to
print your charts because the vector graphics look good in print.
- If the charting solution does not exactly fit your requirements consider
writing your own using a svg or canvas helper framework.

I ended up going with Raphael, and g.Raphael (thin layer on top of Raphael
for rendering chart like shapes) and building my own charts using their
examples as a starting point. It would have been great to use an existing
barchart and pie chart but I had some interaction and display requirements
that didn't fit any existing solution... plus I was able to match the look
and feel of the rest of the application exactly.

So depending on how flexible your requirements are you may find an off the
shelf solution is perfect. If highcharts provides the exact features you
need it is almost definitely worth $80.
