It's kinda crappy (no imports, etc), but it's perfect if all you're looking for is an on-line check register.

Of those, I've only used GNUCash.  I haven't tried the others, because
GNUCash has met my needs.  Specifically, it does everything in
double-entry accounting format.  If you're cool with double entry
accounting, then I think you'll get a lot out of GNUCash.  It also
lets you schedule regular transactions, and split up transactions
between multiple accounts.

Finally, GNUCash lets you reconcile past transactions, so that you can
check items off as they appears on your credit card statement (or bank
statement) and verify that the reconciled balance matches the balance
on the statement.  I've been able to catch credit card items not
charged/checks not cashed this way.
