What about paperclip? The source of a proper comparison should be yourself, as you are the one making the judgment call as to which will suit your needs the best. My own opinion is that I like paperclip more than attachment\_fu having used both (and replaced the attachment\_fu implementation with paperclip). Your mileage may vary…
