I almost always prefer the GNU utils to the BSD ones. The GNU ones usually allow arguments in nicer orders. GNU `sort -h` can sort the human-sized output of GNU `du -h`. I've noticed tons of niceties from these sorts of tools on Ubuntu are completely missing from BSD based OSX. One man's bloat is another man's convenience.
