Make Controller vs Serializer WL .NET

I'm new to the robotics world and was hoping for some help.  I have been looking at controllers and have narrowed it down to two. The two being the Make Controller and the Serializer WL .NET.  What I was hoping for was some info from anybody that has used both and how do they compare?  I realize this is somewhat context based, and will depend on what each of the controllers is used for and what my specific needs are. But in a general sense, I want to know what the + and -'s are for each and if anybody has used both.

Your input would be appreciated.
