Best IGES<=>STL translator according to the users

Dear toolers and mailers,

We've discussed this topic many times, but the process is still not at its
best so I would like some further feedback on this:

I know about most IGES to STL converters and IGES-fixers, stand alone as
well as modules of big CAD-packages. And they all promise wonders of course!

That's why I would very much like to know the experience of other users:

What package do you use to generate STL files from a surface or solid model
and are you satisfied? If you have a little more time: What is the quality
of the generated stl-files (overlapping, thin, reversed triangles etc?)
Same question for IGES fixers?

Best regards and have a nice weekend,
