Christoph: Not to be rude, but you didn't answer the question.

You basically say, I tested 10 scanners, selected one, but you have to
pay for the answer and be able to read German.

Tblinux: I think the magazine 'Information Security' ran a comparison
of pay-for scanners a few months back. If I can find the issue, I'll
post the month and year. They should be able to send you a copy.

Network Computing ran a test of a few, on different platforms with known
vulnerabilities... interesting article.
