Well Skybird might be the one to ask on some of the technical details on this.
Graphically, it's below par with AF in MOST regards (high tiles are nice, some of the models are really good too). It is possibly better graphically than AF if you use the BMS patch for it, but according to reports there are some inconsistencies in BMS with detection and the RWR. Some say these have migrated into AF.
SuperPAK tends to be more stable and has the fewest bugs of any Falcon version, that's for sure. It also benefits from having been put together by a huge modding community rather than a smaller studio, so you have this sort of "best of the best" from all over, rather than only what the AF devs can offer.
SuperPAK is basically the purist's choice. Not as good-looking as the others (including AF and FreeFalcon), not as many new bells and whistles, but more reliable and bug-free. The differences are subtle, but I still prefer it to all the other varieties.
There's also always FreeFalcon which seems to be never finished but is graphically fancier than any other F4 version, with the most objects, campaigns, etc. included in it.
