[Haskell-cafe] Which generic zipper? [RESOLVED]

[Luke Evans]

Thanks Roman.

I'll probably go with Data.Data then.  Certainly, I'm not looking for any significant distractions and I'll heed your cautionary note.
I read that GHC.Generics is fit and fast in comparison to SYB, but that's not really a big concern for me at the moment.  
I just fell in to believing that GHC.Generics was the true religion given its apparent status as the adopted generics in GHC.
