Which do you guys think is better in terms of saving some battery and not hindering my performance at all?

Neither, it is a placebo effect. Find the right kernel and change some settings in your phone. These are not needed.

Actually I run stock, and I can tell you its no Placebo effect, my battery without it ran up to 12 hours, but with it I can get close to 30. Its main thing is(for both of them) is that it shuts down your data when your screen is off, and only turning it on at certain intervals. When your screen is on the data is on. They both are about the same, I prefer JD, but have used SP. It is a legit way to save battery especially if your stock as well as rooted. Now app killers on the other hand...not so much.

You know with Sense that it has the data off built-in? Go to wireless settings and turn off always on data. When the screen is off after 5 minutes, I think, it cuts the data off till you turn the screen on. In fact, Juice Defender eats up battery for me because it keeps the phone from sleeping a lot of the time.

placebo effect? hmm i run a pretty good setup kernel is battery charging 132 and i use collin ph battery tweak and life is decent. just heard good things about these programs. I like the idea were mobile data is only on when im using it. makes sense but ud think the stock rom would do that by itself already? can anyone confirm or disprove that?

There is no reason to have both apps installed on your phone considering they essentially do the same thing.

Actually, he's sorta wrong. You honestly think that the app uses as much juice as the data connection?
Superpower does no polling at all, all state triggered and has some SetCPU features built in, like seeting to ondemand and max 400mhz.
I've been using juice defender since august when I got my EVO and the battery saving has been exponential. That combined with my 3000mAh extended battery and I get 4 days on 3g.
I have not used either but I hear good things about juice. The only reason I don't run them is I use google messenger so I need my data always on. Juice pretty much cuts down how often your phone polls from the servers (kinda?). Anyways if you don't need constant connectivity I would say go with juice

I use sense roms and i see a big enough difference with JD Ultimate for the few bucks it costs..i get close to double my regular battery usage with it..there is ways to get it without paying if u are into that kind of stuff
i'd try normal juicedefender first. if you like it, then review what features you will get from ultimate. if you think it's worth it, then buy on in. if not, then don't.
btw, in my experiance, letting it toggle my 4g actually lost me battery.
My experience it was ok. I got it for the sense 2.1 rom due to the brightness issues. I had to unistall it because it was making my connectivity act up. My data wouldn't start back up on wake sometimes. Overall it wasn't saving me a dramatic amount either.
In all fairness I didn't customize it. Just used normal or aggressive default.

SetCPU
If you're really gonna spend some money on an app SetCPU is the way to go for battery life (Assuming you're rooted). This way you have a customizable governor on your processor and you can tell it how fast to run. Unless you've already done this in which case sorry. I get at least a good two days out of my battery on almost all the roms I run and I flash a lot, Letting it die completely when the screen is off does a tremendous job & really you don't need it to run over 700 mhz for most things. Give it a try, the trick is setting the profiles. Use on demand for your scaling then set accordingly, keep in mind you need to set the most important profiles such as temperature and screen off as your 100 or 99 level profiles. You'll get the hang of it, but as I said if you already use it then this was a giant waste of typing
P.S. if running the Stock HTC Kernel you have to disable perflock in order for the profiles to work. Main tab, menu, perflock disabler.

I use Tasker from the Market, creating profiles such as turning off data when screen is off and data on when screen is on (doesn't affect voice calls or SMS/MMS). Also, I use Autokiller Memory Manager (not a task killer). I can get from 17 hours on normal use to 31 hours with light to moderate use. As I write this, I'm at 88% battery left after 5 hours off the charger.

So does juice defender actually do anything special to make you battery life better? Or is it just an app for the "lazy" if you will.
Does it do special things or does it just shut off radios and whatnot when your not using them?
I'm pretty good about shutting off radios and dimming brightness when needed and get 15 hours easy on stock battery so I don't necessary need it but its always kinda made me wonder...

Just my opinion, but with the advances in Kernels and other features, either built into ROMs (AOSP and Sense) or applied separately, and their progression over time I have felt that separate battery saving programs are a thing of the past.
Extended batteries have assisted in this need to feed our EVOs also.

A program that automatically turns off EVDO, wifi, etc most certainly saves a significant amount of battery life... if you think turning your phones EVDO radio off is "snake oil" then you're pretty damn incorrect. Leaving my phone on EVDO all the time it'll get a few days of battery life idle, vs several weeks of battery life with a strict tuned JuiceDefender setup.

Yeah, I used juice defender and it honestly saved a little battery nothing substantial but getting emails and things late because its killing my data when screen is off not worth it, so no it doesn't truly save battery. Its just more of a tool to control when your data is on and off..
Anyone use this from the market?
I wanna test out the 2g/3g/4G mode but it's giving me a warning that it could break my data and not able to be restored so I'm too chicken **** to test it.

Yes. Swear by it.
There are plenty of nay-sayers, and no doubt you'll hear from them here. I wouldn't argue the experience they've had, but then, I don't see why they argue mine (and other happy users).
I had terrible problems with battery drain on my Epic 4G. I had a lot of crap running, keeping the radios alive all the time with little junk that was just fine updating in bursts every 15 min. when JD wakes up the cell radio for apps to do some traffic.I'm also not OCD enough to remember to turn my wifi on and off.
Anyway, with JD and my configuration, I sip electrons. Take JD away and... not so much.
Put it on the GN and it seems to be working just as well if not better. I see threads full of people complaining about battery life -- I'm easily getting a day and a half out of mine with moderate use (maybe 20-30 min total talk time, some internet, YouTube, 20 minutes of gaming, and other typical usage). Sitting on standby, I lose about 1% and hour.
When configured properly, I find JD helps a lot, chiefly by automatically managing the radios. Worth it.
But do you specifically use the 2g/3g/4G toggle or do you just have your profile set to turn data off?

Yeah, sorry I wasn't more helpful about that. I only answered your first question
I don't use the specific toggles. I just turn data entirely on and off. I didn't see the benefit of switching specific data modes.
Yes, 3G uses less power than 4G, and 2G less than 3G, but OFF uses the least!
Haha np, I just like to be able to get my emails and mms etc.. At all times.. But hate leaving 4G on..
Just thought it would be perfect to have a profile to turn it to 3g or 2g like 30 seconds after the screen goes off..

Juice Defender is, without a doubt, the worst app I've ever paid for.
I had problems with JD on my SGS but it seems to be working much better on the GN. Stops the battery from draining while I'm not using the device. The main thing I'm using it for is controlling WiFi by location. I only have a few apps enabled with the screen off so it shouldn't be using a lot of data.

JD worked great on my SGS2 and works same way on GN - thanks to JD I loose just 2-3% over night.
I don't know if it's bad configuration or ROM incompatibility for the people that complain about JD.
Anyway, I have seen that 2G/3G/4G option but didn't have time to look around after beta version, anybody care to share a link? I would like to see if 2G is good enough to keep my internet radio going, it's currently killing my battery, like 10-20% per hour. Is there an option to use 3G, but no HSDPA?
When idling, with properly setup JD schedules and triggers and auto-brightness also managed by JD, I get great battery life.

I may as well weigh in with my view on this, as an agreement with both sides. When I had JD Ultimate loaded on both stock and custom ROMs on my Gnex, I undoubtedly saw battery life gains when the phone was idling, and they were significant. However, far too often I would go to unlock the phone, and the touch screen would be unresponsive and I would have to battery pull. Not once has this happened without JD running. A couple of times a day with. So it worked for me, but the instability that came with it was too much to bear, so I uninstalled.

Yea I know it's possible, but I just like that JD manages so many things for me, like auto-brightness, radio schedule or that it automatically enables WiFi when I get home and disables it when I leave and can do the same with Bluetooth if I wanted.
Surely I will uninstall JD when I loose interest in its advantages or when I find a different app that works better for me or when I simply get bored with it.
I only had to pull battery once since I installed it, which is not that bad. If it starts to annoy me, I will get rid of it. But so far it's ok.
My issue is that I don't want something controlling my phone. Too much control. I can all those things myself if need be. Isn't that the whole purpose of Android phones? To have control?

For me, the solution is to use JD to let it manage some boring things for me so I can focus on other more interesting stuff.

This.
Except never had a crash or lockup, never had to pull battery.
I'm a flash maniac, hacker, and mod extensively. I run a lot of crap on my phone. JD does a great job managing things automatically so I get great battery life.
That is, JD ultimate... the free version is way too limited.
Only problem I've ever had is JD bring really slow to turn data on when I wake up the phone, after its been running fora long time (like into the second day). Fixed by stopping and restarting JD most of the time.
Rarely happens because I reboot at least once a day for one reason or another.
Arguing over whether JD is "great" or "crap" is so juvenile. The fact is it world great for some, not for others. This speaks to configuration differences, not JD. Is Supercurio's voodoo sound crap because it doesn't work on some configurations? Of course not.

To offer a different perspective, I don't consider something for which I control the parameters to be "not under my control". I'm not seeing how JD's behavior is any different than the phone automatically connecting to a wifi AP if you leave you're wifi on without you explicitly telling it to connect.
If JD simply enabled some vague power savings through turning the radios on and off, without knowing exactly what triggers the control, I'd stay far away from it too.
Sure, its turning radios on and off, etc. -- exactly as I've instructed it to. I'm in complete control.

i dont know why battery saving programs like to kill your radio if your signal or battery is low......that's the whole point of having a cell phone!!
None of these "battery saving" apps work. And all the things they do can be done manually. If something has to run in the system to "save" battery... it uses battery attempting to save battery.

No things have changed reason is they think that if you use the TW Task Manager it will kill thee battery app but if you know how to use either both for example Juice Defender has the option to stay in status bar so it won't be killed if you kill apps on the Task Manager, but why would you kill the app in the 1st place if you knew it saves battery.

One of the best things I have done to DRAMATICALLY increase my battery was to change the kernel, ROM and undervolt. I found the best combination for me was to use Shadowkernel v1.04, Legendary ROM and then manually change the voltage settings by about 10% or more.
I used to drain about 10% an hour on standby with wifi but now I'm down to about 1-3%. I drain about 6-10% an hour when I'm using the phone. The only problem I have is when I have a very bad signal, then my battery life goes down over 10% but I think I would have the same problem regardless of whether I modified my phone or not. I don't use any battery saver programs at all now.

Just installed this.... will report back when it's done learning and switches to saving mode.
Thanks for the heads up, i'll give this a try.
nice grabbed this up will be checking it out.
Just posted this in the Verizon Galaxy S III forum as well.
Still seems silly to me that we are going to have to have 4 separate discussions for an app that will work the same on each carrier.
I'm not really sure on what the value of these apps are.
Letting my phone do whatever it wants when I'm on wifi and my phone is sitting idle, my phone uses around 1%/hour of battery life.
Some portion of that is all this app could really save then, right?
Why bother if, in exchange, I'm possibly having delayed notifications, apps not updating in the background, etc.?
I've been running this app .today is 3 day (around) have not rebooted or anything using phone as always honestly don't see a difference yet..

doesnt do anything, i get about 12% drain in 9 hours when im sleeping, what it does just turn off wifi for me if im not in range, which is useless, having wifi on doesnt drain much battery at all
Thanks for the link! Will update in a few days with results
can't tell if it's just a placebo effect or not, but i feel like my battery life is a little better after using this app
I haver never once had a random reboot until I installed this today not sure its related just throwing it out there

After using this for the past few days I would say overall it is not that bad of an app. I am really starting to like it. My average battery usage went from 5-6%/hr to 3-4%/hr. I know there are a lot of variables that go into this but I would say it works as well DS Battery Saver. I have also used JD but never really liked that app. I will continue to use this app to see what the long term would be on here but its a good find in my opinion.
If nothing else try it out for a week or so and compare stats. I use Better Battery Stats to get my info from.
Has anyone compared this to the relatively new "Greenify" battery saving app?

Anything that suggests it saves battery makes me nervous. Because the only way to do that is to shut down apps. And when you shut down the app, it may not get updated, or it may open very slowly when you do need it, etc.
I did not like it much... i am guessing that all this app does is change sync frequencies of different apps. To do it it tries to determine your location so that it can turn sync off/on or change sync interval based on your prior usage patterns.
Once it was out of learning mode, i noticed that my s3 battery drain was quicker due to excessive usage of maps by this app.
I uninstalled the app... and have got my battery life back.
