X1 64bit - when to use BitBridge and when to use jBridge?

Assuming this list (only) of 32bit plugs:

IK Multimedia (yes they will be 64bit eventually, but not all are native 64bit today)
UAD
Waves
Addictive
Jamstix3
Cakewalk (any non 64bit plugs)
Camelaudio plugs (phat & space specifically) <edit> my bad, methinks these are 64bit already

Which bridger fails to work in 64bit X1 for the above 32bit VSTs?

My 64bit machine will be up and running this weekend and I'd like to be prepared for the gotchas. FWIW, I do own jBridge.

    No telling but mix and matching UAD with Sonitus in the 64 bit version is a recipe for instability. I stopped using all other VSTs with the UADs except for a couple of synths like Superior Drummer and Atmosphere. I haven't had any crashes since.

    I use Jbridge for everything x32 unless a particular VST won't work with it, which isn't any I use.

    I just prefer the interface and the better preset save/load options of jbridge.

    And I use BitBridge for everything I use.  In fact I haven't, as yet, found anything that I have (and you know how many that is) that works better with JBridge.  You say Toe-May-Toe and I say Toe-Mah-Toe:-)

    So tell me myolpal, do you encounter problems mixing UAD with sonitus like middleman?

    Have you had any problems mixing 32bit and 64bit plugs in any 64bit project?

    1]  Not that I know of...I don't use the Sonitus much on my 64bit rig.

    2]  Again, not that I know of.  I have not noticed any blatant conflicts.

    The Waves stuff may give you some grief with jBridge if it's an older bundle. The Cakewalk 32 stuff is best left with Bitbridge. My main plugins for jBridge are Drumagog, the KORG Legacy series and some of the older Native Instruments synths like the B4 and the Pro 53. Once I switched those over those pain-in-the *ss "Teleport Server Errors" went away. Haven't had to deal with that in months!

    This above is the main issue I get. I need to switch over to J-Bridge for my plugs. I already have it installed, I just need to spend the time and do it. I've had 0 problems with my UAD cards and Sonitus. My weird crashes are when using older plugs like emwhy as well as a few issues with the latest version of Kontakt. As a matter of fact, the only plug I couldn't get to work was Superior...but then I had found out they had a x64 patch for it, so that fixed me right up. But it worked under J-Bridge without a problem any way.
     
    No problems at all with my Waves stuff.

    I might try using JBridge with my Korg Legacy and older NI stuff...I get the "teleport has stopped responding" thingy all the time.

    I get kind of the same error message.

    i use Bitbridge first, and if that doesn't work, i use jBridge . . . and sometimes that doesn't work either that much.  all Image-Line stuff that i own besides FL-10 (Sawer, Vocodex) has to use jBridge (even though they don't work that great with it) and KORE (R.I.P.) doesn't work that great with either Bitbridge or jBridge; same goes for Sonic Charge (Synplant & µtonic): doesn't work with Bitbridge at all and practically not at all with jBridge.  in a nutshell, i find that all bridging sucks.  someone should open up a company that ports 32 bit plugins to 64 bit for small companies that claim they can't make a 64 bit version of their plugin because they are a too small a company, or too lazy or arrogant to make 64 bit versions
