I have Sibelius 4. I must say, that I prefer how most Finale scores look. I got Sibelius because that's what my school used, and I found that it was much easier to use than Finale. I find it really easy to use for conventional notation.

That said, if I want to use other kinds of notation, I generally hand-write scores. To be honest, I find hand-writing things way more satisfying than using a computer program. Sibelius certainly asks me to jump through hoops to do some reasonably simple, though modern, composing techniques.

Anyway, it's really a personal preference thing.
