Wiki or Google Docs?

I learned that Google docs are a great way for people to be able to work together on a paper/assignment at the same time from different locations. Because it's "live" each person can see the updates as they are being done and that makes it easier to track the changes. One suggestions was each contributor use a different color font so they can be easily identified.

I found out there are other websites out there for online collaborations.
http://www.stixy.com/ and http://www.spruz.com/ are both good for collaborating and have more features to choose from. It seems even though there are many options, people still opt for googledocs as their favorite.
