For personal check writing, which is best – the bank’s site or a financial software?

Many banks let you pay your bills by check from their website at no charge. Many give you the option to use Quicken or Money to pay the bills, still using them to send checks for you, but initiating payment from your software vs from the bank’s website. Most banks charge for this type of bill payment, but it is undeniably more convenient. We had one bank which allowed us to use Quicken initiated payments at no charge, but I don’t know if this is still available anywhere. Whichever you use, once you pay your bills electronically, you’ll never go back.
