SlideIt!
Most intuitive swiping and tapping combo out there by far. It also has directional keys that most keyboards lack so that you can move around text one letter at a time if you need to.
Swype has this if you swype the bottom left key (swype symbol) to the next key (SYM). You get this section.SlideIt!

I wasn't aware there was another "swype" keyboard out there. I'll definitely have to give it a shot. I assume, since you dont use swype, you like this a lot more. I simply cant go back to hunt and peck type of texting since swype. BTW the new version of swype sucks lol.
The new Swype they released is a huge improvement and my favorite for sure now. It no longer has that annoying popup with suggested words, or the one that pops up saying "your word was below the top suggestion" or whatever. It no longer adds words automatically to the dictionary, this way when you misspell something it won't be misspelled when you type the intended word again. Instead if you type something unique it says "Add this word to the dictionary". As a pop up replacement you get a bar with suggested words similar to the swiftkey keyboard. Tapping on a word anywhere in the message brings up the bar with the suggested words, works great when typing fast and one word shares similar letters, no need for deletion and retyping, just two taps.
The way I use my phone it works for me perfectly. One thing I don't suggest with swype is long messages. The automatic spacing (you can disable it) is a great feature but can be annoying the longer you type. So depending on your use other suggestions will be better.
The things I dont like in the new one are that, if you type a word it doesn't have, and press space it will revert it back to whatever top word was in it's own list. Also when type on a screen the keyboard will stick to the top over the dialogue box so I can't even see what I'm typing. I really didn't mind the pop-up box.
SwiftKey
-Predicts better over use/time
-Scales properly with screen density changes (unlike Swype or SwiftKey X)
-Has numpad-style configuration even when not entering phone number (unlike pretty much every other virtual keyboard)

I just use Gingerbread Keyboard from the market.
