I am doing some research on Real Time Network GNSS services and noticed that there are a few different methods that RTNs employ (MAX, iMAX and VRS) to give you your rover receiver corrections. Which one do you use and why? What are their strengths and weaknesses?

Yes, I saw that. Leica definitely thinks their Master Auxiliary (MAX and iMAX) method is the cats meow. I think VRS is Trimble's method.
All I know is that (in English at least) Master Auxiliary sounds much more Survey Grade than that variable and wimpy Virtual Reference Station.
I have used both, and do not see any difference, other than terms in the implementation.
And I don't understand why we can't get a good, long, flaming hot discussion going on this...we need to find more geodesy nerds!
